Devil Street in Kachere?

Chief Kazingist cannot lie that he does not know places in Blantyre. He left his Zolozolo base more than two years ago and he should have visited a number of townships, of course, for various reasons.

One of the townships he frequents is Kachere. Unfortunately, he does not know much about this place. The reason is that he goes there to play some game. After sunset, he leaves for his Namiyango base.

Last week, the chief man of the skirt decided to change the ritual. He, as usual, left for Kachere. His friends were already at the place, which is opposite the market.

Soon after darkness crept in, he bade farewell to his friends. However, he was thirsty and wanted to take some beer. He walked a few metres towards a place where a lot of noise was coming from. It was clear the place was a bottle store.

Before he reached the place, there were a number of girls that lined up near the building next to the bottle store. The way they dressed, their body language and the way they gazed at a person confused the chief man of the skirt.

When he entered the bottle store, Chief Kazingist ordered his favourite beer. He then went to sit at a corner where there was an empty crate. Next to him was a man who looked interested in him.

“You must be a stranger here. I am seeing you for the first time,” said the man.

“You are right. I stay in Namiyango and this is my first time to enter a bottle store. I have been to Mzuzu where my base was in Zolozolo,” replied Chief Kazingist.

After two minutes of silence, Chief Kazingist asked about the ladies.

“Which ones are you talking about?” The man asked, looking puzzled.

“I am talking about those that have lined up at the building next door,” he replied.

The man laughed. “Those are coordinators. Whenever you want a coordinator, that is the place to pick one from,” he replied.

After taking two bottles, Chief Kazingist left for the place. He wanted to talk to one of them. He went straight to a young girl who was almost naked.

“How old are you?” He asked.

“Are you here to know my age or have my services?” the young girl hit back.

“I am here for the latter. However, I should ensure that the person I take is old enough or I will be charged with defilement. Italy knows better,” he replied.

“Let me tell you coward. Many men, older than you, come for me and I give them what they want. They don’t ask stupid questions like the ones you are asking,” said the girl.

“They are not stupid questions. Some people have fallen into trouble because of sleeping with underage coordinators. A good example is the former Italian leader,” replied Chief Kazingist.

“That is Italy. In Malawi, as long as a coordinator comes here, she is no longer underage,” she replied.

“So what are you advising me to do?” Asked the chief man of the skirt.

“Go and come back when your senses are back to normal. This is our place and you will find me here anytime,” she replied. n
