'Condoms laced with chemicals to make Zimbabweans fail to produce kids'

Harare Metropolitan senator Cleveria Chizema (Zanu-PF) yesterday alleged there was political chemical warfare where condoms were laced with a substance to make Zimbabweans fail to produce children.

This was disclosed before the Parliamentary Thematic Committee on HIV and Aids chaired by Midlands senator Lilian Timveous (MDC-T).

"How safe are the condoms for the nation because we heard there was chemical warfare to eliminate future generations," Chizema said.

However, the National Aids Council (NAC) chief executive officer Tapiwa Magure said the condoms were very safe and all batches were tested by the Medicines Control Authority and NAC which had since acquired condom testing equipment.
