The Zambia Police Service is introducing a mandatory circumcision policy for all male recruits.
A Police training school commanding Officer (Malcom Mulenga) says male circumcision will help prevent HIV and AIDS cases in the Police service.
The decision follows evidence that Zambia Police Service has been losing a lot of qualified manpower as a result of HIV/AIDS.
And Zambia’s Home Affairs Ministry has welcomed plans by the Zambia Police Service to circumcise male recruits.
Police recruits will undergo circumcision at Zambia’s major hospital University Teaching Hospital, district hospitals and other police health centres being built with support from the United States at a cost of ZAR 2.5 million (1.5 billion Kwacha).
