BULAWAYO – Police in Bulawayo have arrested 39 students from different schools in the city who were caught Friday in a wild sex orgy popularly known as Vuzu parties.
Police reported the arrests via the law enforcement organisation’s official Twitter handle Saturday.
“The ZRP confirms the arrest of 39 students from various schools in Bulawayo at a certain house in Khumalo suburb, on 18/11/22 while conducting a VUZU Party. Some whisky, cigarette stubs, used and unused condoms were recovered at the scene.
“Investigations are underway for more information to be revealed,” police said.
Vuzu parties are secret indoor gatherings common among adolescents in Bulawayo who usually indulge in booze, drugs and wild sex in front of everyone.
Youths who normally patronise Vuzu parties are those who have the means to spend lavishly on booze and often drive cars.
According to a research by Grassroot Soccer and AIDS Health Care Foundation, youths who normally venture into these wild parties are those who live in communities and attend schools lacking in recreational facilities.
Some are just uncultured youths who lack parental guidance.
During the parties, morality often flies through the window as the youths engage in wild sex romps usually with different partners, risking contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and also falling pregnant.
