Smoking Crime: Harare Tobacco Farmers Fall Prey to Thigh Vendors

With the tobacco-selling season underway, many farmers are falling prey to vice in Harare’s high density suburbs as they lose all their earnings to hookers.

Incidents of male farmers being left stark na_ked in the heavy industrial sites have become common, after they engage the services of commercial se_x workers.

Recently, a Hurungwe man was left stranded and had to be rescued by good samaritans after he was left penniless.
Hookers Have Tricked Many Tobacco Farmers  

The man, whose identity was concealed, was later given an Ankara wrap and jacket by his wife whom he had left at the auction floors.

An employee at one of the auction floors, David Kamupira, said the farmers are easy targets for thieves because they move in groups. Kamupira, a resident of Mbare, said farmers are also very stubborn because they are told of the dangers of moving around with large amounts of cash but insist on doing exactly that.

Another employee from the auction floors, Epiphania Gwasira, said farmers are waylaid with the promises of a good time. She said because many of them have never had a girlfriend from the city, the idea of being in the company of a modern woman is enticing.

Gwasira cited one farmer who was left destitute in Glen Norah after being robbed of all his belongings.

“The woman wiped the man out. She took his clothes, the stuff he had bought and his pay-out from selling tobacco. For the farmers just to be seen with a well-dressed and groomed woman from the city is enough for them (farmers) to be dictated.

"However, it comes at a price, which is usually everything that they worked for,” she said. Hanna said that all she has to do is lure him to her love nest, offer him alcohol and her pimp does the rest.

“These men come to Harare alone and often do not have any relatives in the city. Because they are gullible to feminine wiles, they are robbed of everything they have, including their clothes. It is sad but that is the reality of the tobacco season,” she said. - Weekend Post
