This, in our view, is a simplistic approach as it does not consider the deep-rooted spiritual implications of the proposed cause of action. In other words there are dire spiritual consequences for the proposed course of action. It is not our wish, intention nor desire to condemn anyone but to voice our concern and call upon the silent God-fearing majority to wake up to the ploy to send our country to hell on a silver platter. Rather we wonder whether the pro-legalisation proponents have considered issues of godliness, morality and wider implications to the wider Botswana society. Having said this we are not unaware of the extent of the scourge and the associated expenses to try to control it.
There is wide circulating misnomer called “sex work” which in our view tends to sugar-coat and legitimise the unhealthy practice of profaning a human body which the Holy Bible refers to as the “temple of the Holy Spirit”. Whereas some people regard it as work, it is neither work nor has ever been work. Prostitution is instead a deliberate and wilful act on the part of an individual, a human being (a creation of God Almighty), to abuse (abnormal use) their God-given body. It is in this regard that we consider calls for its legalisation inappropriate, flawed, and undesirable and of bad taste. Yes certain individuals, for whatever reasons, choose to indulge in the practice but we consider calls for its legalisation to be misplaced, unfortunate and distasteful.
