The ‘funga duka’ hashtag was introduced by the Kenyan socialite, Huddah Monroe as away of abstaining from sex for the whole of 2019. Huddah disclosed that she got spurred into action by a DM about a lady named Carol whose boyfriend Michael cheated on her.
She wrote, ”Hey, guys so today I got a DM about a chick called Carol who has a boyfriend called Michael. So Michael has been cheating on Carol with multiple women. Can you imagine? Multiple women. Who do these men think we are carrying us like we are pieces of sh*t or something like that. So, guys, this is something I have been talking about for the longest time on my social media pages and I think it is high time we hold these men accountable for their actions. Hakuna venye hawa machali watakuwa wanatuchezea.”
In support of Carol, she had joined the ‘Funga Duka’ sex boycott that is taking place across social media. The ‘Huddah Cosmetics’ CEO disclosed that her ‘Funga Duka’ boycott will last for a year. She added, ”Carol has said she is closing shop and I have also decided I’m closing shop. I am urging every chick out there to close shop and let us see where these men will go. If they cannot change, let them go get Samantha’s or they go look for Arimis they sort themselves.”
The ‘Funga Duka’ sex boycott went viral under the #Fungaduka after Carol revealed that she has closed her legs until Michael her cheating boyfriend gets tested and starts behaving.
