ZANU-PF national commissar and Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere has blasted the use of contraceptives and urged Zimbabwean couples to have as many children as possible in order to grow the country's economy.
Officiating at a tobacco outreach meeting in Rushinga on Sunday, Kasukuwere criticised couples with two children or less, while also attacking men for always flocking to beerhalls and abandoning their marital roles to have as many children as possible.
He said contraceptives were decimating the country's population and source of labour.
"Nowadays, these younger men embarrass us with only one or two children. Surely that's nothing for a grown man. Let's increase our families and work hard in our fields," the Zanu-PF national commissar said.
"Guys, let's be strong. Let's be strong because this is embarrassing. Each day, you are at the local bar drinking beer and even complaining about the cost of beer. Go home and make babies!"
He added to wild cheers: "Another thing that I observed when children made their presentations earlier on is that there were a lot of girls and only three boys. Let us drink less beer, guys."
The Local Government minister jokingly said at the rate at which people were giving birth, government may be forced to shut down some schools because there would be no children to enrol.
