Penis Enlargement: Part 2 of 3- “Creams, teas and Oils”
Our trip to Guruve had been interesting. There we met Sekuru Tsiga* who had a lot to say on penis enlargement and the herbs he had to offer. However, we were disappointed once again to discover that the aforementioned herbs and their properties could not be readily ascertained. Moreimportantly (for our readers) there was no substantial proof to back up Sekuru’s claims. We had hoped to interview some of his clients to hear their testimonies, however, none were available. So we had covered the herbal aspect of penis enlargement, & on our return to Harare, we wanted to lookat the creams, teas, pills and even the supernatural. We started at Road Port, whichis a central bus station for cross-bordertrips. We were linked to Sheppy* who is the go-to guy for all imports. Sheppy runs his own “men’s clinic/shop” out of the boot of his Toyota Raum. So we didn’t dare tell him the true purpose of our visit. All he knew was that we were there to get some products. Sheppy showed us the multiple products he had, from pills, sprays etc. However, we were there to buy the Mutuba seed. Hemuttered back “zvamaakuda izvi hazvisi zvevana vadiki”(what you seek is not for the faint hearted). But we were determined, and after parting with $80, we were told to come back two days later once the bus brings the “stuff” from South Africa, andso we waited. MeanwhilemeanMeanwhile, we went to Glen view 3to see a Dr Sukwai* (Not a medical doctor).We had stumbled upon his flier which said “penis enlargement while youwait”-you can understand how scared and excited we were! When we got to his house, he ushered us to a back room, which he used for seeing clients. He showed us his miracle cream (which he makes by himself). We obviously had to ask if it would really workinstantly as the flier said, to which he replied “kana ndichiti while you wait ndoreva kuti mushonga ndougadzira makaumirira”(when I say while you wait, itmeans I will prepare the cream whilst you wait for it). Nothing could have prepared us for such ananti-climax. After all, we had been on this investigative quest for several days. For the first time, there was anactualopportunity to see the results instantlybut doctor’s false advertising got us. We were told the cream would work in two weeks, so webought a jar out of respect for the man. We hadn’t brought the car so we started walking to the nearest bus stop when we saw a few young men socializing at a corner. We decided to ask them if they knew about Dr Sukwai’swork. Upon noticing our little plastic bag with the jar of cream, they all roared in laughter. One of the guys even exclaimed “mabva kundotengeserwa camphor ka” (you have just bought campcamphor cream).That was enough to let us know the cream would not yield any results. Our last stop was along Robert G. Mugabe Road, atthe former Rainbow Cinema which has been turned into a small mall. Inthere we met Rumbiand Paul, who share a stall selling different pills and teas. Weasked to see the enlargement products and Paul started walking us through them. The pills were labelled in a foreign language, therefore we could not ascertain the composition,but he stood by them and said he had used them too.They were a hit with his customers, who kept buying, even thetea (who knew us men could be such patient creatures as to take tea on routine). We bought one of each for our archives, but on our way out we realised something. If these teas and pills actually work,thenwhy would his customerskeep buying them as Paul had said., shouldn’t it be a once-off use? So we went back to ask him that question, to which he responded “tirikutsvagakurarama, mukasatenga hatidye”(weare just trying to survive, how will we put food on the table if you don’t buy). This was yet another disappointment. We had experienced first-handwhat manymen in Zimbabwe go through when seeking enlargement creams, pills, and teas. So now we had to wait for the Mutuba seed, whichapparently makes your penis grow as the plant grows.Concludes in part three
