If the girls refuse, it's believed, disease or some fatal misfortune could befall their families or the village as a whole.

Any culture that is repugnant to natural justice equity and good conscience MUST be abolished. This is why I hate most of these cultural practices.

According to BBC News, Eric Avina pictured is a middle aged HIV positive Malawian man whose responsibility it is to conduct "sexual cleansing" for underaged and also matured women in Nsanje district in southern Malawi.

Avina in his community is referred to as Hyena, a traditional title given to a man hired by communities in several remote parts of southern Malawi to provide what's called sexual "cleansing".

If a man dies, for example, his wife is required by tradition to sleep with Avina before she can bury him. If a woman has an abortion, she is expected to sleep with Avina to undergo cleansing. Also teenage girls, after their first menstruation, are made to have sex over a three-day period with Avina to mark their passage from childhood to womanhood. If the girls refuse, it's believed, disease or some fatal misfortune could befall their families or the village as a whole. He says he's one of 10 hyenas in their community, and that every village in Nsanje district has them. They are paid from $4 to $7 (£3 to £5) each time.
"Most of those I have slept with are girls, school-going girls. Some girls are just 12 or 13 years old, but I prefer them older. All these girls find pleasure in having me as their hyena. They actually are proud and tell other people that this man is a real man, he knows how to please a woman." he told BBC


Avina when asked said he is aware that he is HIV positive but he doesn't tell the women he sleeps with. Although he has lost count of the women he has slept with, he puts the figure at about 104. He is married to two women who know about his job and approve.

Tanzania widow cleansing

http://news.trust.org//item/20131004013124-9hq3g/

Tembea Kenya kabla kuropokwa.

Wife inheritance, as described in the website whose link u have provided here: http://www.jiasociety.org/index.php/jias/article/view/19010/3800

Where is any mention of pipo being paid to sleep with underage gals as a means of cleansing them? Kwanza in luo culture, underage persons arent supposed to know about sex. Gals in particular were expected in the olden days to remain pure until they get married. Once they got violated, the girls risked getting married off to some old man or some persons rejected by the society (ie the crippled, sorry if there is any reading this). For no self respecting man would accept her, no self respecting family would admit her into their homestead for that's a disgrace.

The widow gets inherited by one of her brothers-in -law, not by some paid man. This is intended for her to continue being part of that family, because she belongs to that community.

Hii nime cut from hiyo article...

Introduction: The customs of widow cleansing and widow inheritance are practiced in several communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In the Nyanza Province of Kenya, according to tradition, Luo widows are expected to engage in sexual intercourse with a “cleanser,” without the use of a condom, in order to remove the impurity ascribed to her after her husband’s death. Luo couples, including widows, are also expected to engage in sex preceding specific agricultural activities, building homes, funerals, weddings, and other significant cultural and social events. Widows who are inherited for the purpose of fulfilling cultural obligation have a higher prevalence of HIV than those who remain un-inherited or are inherited for the purpose of companionship.

Need I add? Na it's a paying job. Hata topic pekee yake haukushikanisha. Inheritance comes AFTER cleansing.

Stori ya underage ndio iko tofauti labda. Hatujui nini inafanyika zaidi ya hapo considering bado kuna watu wana valisha teenage daughters beads as a mark kisha wanaume wote wa kijiji wana mrape in the name of initiating her. Hiyo ni Kenya bado.

It doesnt mean that the author is accurate, okay. Look at the first statements of article

Introduction: The customs of widow cleansing and widow inheritance are practiced in several communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

Yes, the author could be assuming that what is practiced in the other cultures is what is happening in the luo culture as well.

Read this other article regarding the same
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Luo_Wife_Inheritance

Let me tell u something else I forgot to mention to u, that in the luo culture, just like in many other tradiditional African cultures there is no such thing as cousins, aunts, uncles, step-dads and step-mums. Your cousins are simply your brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles are your parents, and your fathers other wives are simply your mothers. Upon his death, the man, (who must be a member of that family) is also your dad, not step-dad.

Muafrika2, this practice is called wife inheritance, meaning the property that belonged to the man should be shared out amongst the pipo within his family, not the outsiders. A woman in the luo tradition was considered the property of the man who paid the dowry to acquire her. All his possessions, including lands, cattle, house(s), wives, children etc therefore had to fall into the care of a man/men within the family, approved especially by the man as capable of taking care of his belongings, taking care of his wife/wives and children upon his death.

No outsiders are allowed to come and take over the possession of the dead man's belongings, it doesnt work that way. Only the man's brothers (which include his cousins) are eligible to claim inheritance.

Inheritance comes AFTER cleansing- That is nonsense. That doesnt happen. I have never ever heard that there are pipo paid to 'cleanse' a woman b4 thier eventual inheritance. Yours, just like the report author's claim, are based on assumptions.
