Raising his concerns, he posted;
Western countries spent millions promoting circumcision in Zimbabwe, running ads using influencers like Jah Prayzah and Winky D among others.
It was a bizarre campaign. They never run such campaigns in the West.

New York Rabbi Arrested For Selling Foreskins
A New York rabbi known for his ultra-Orthodox stance on circumcision is facing charges stemming from several complaints received by the New York Police Department for illegally advocating and selling of foreskin of children as medicine for curing cancer and longevity effects.
Rabbi Aaron Zayin was arrested in 2019 after exchanging messages with a federal agent posing as a client who has an interest in purchasing “fresh baby foreskins.
Rabbi Zayin is believed to have sold an estimated number of 5,200 foreskins since 2015 when he started selling the pieces of human skin and advocating their aphrodisiac qualities as well as their miraculous cancer-curing and longevity effects.
“He would sell them in small bags, fried in oil with added spices and salt, like little onion rings, which seemingly made them more palatable and easier to consume.”
According to the New York Police Department spokesman P.J. Hustler, although there is no law about the selling of human skin or foreskin, Zayin’s claims that his product could cure several diseases such as haemorrhoids, chronic flatulence, erectile dysfunction, and cancer made him liable to criminal charges.
“His product was so popular and in demand, he was forced to purchase foreskins from numerous synagogues around the country.” Officer P.J. Hustler added.
To supply to the demand, Rabbi Zayin would perform up to 40 Brit Milah’s a day, also known as “covenant of circumcision” in the Jewish faith, at his synagogue but also in his home garage, as well as local restaurants and even in public washroom areas.
“He harassed me and forced my poor son to have three circumcisions in three years. He barely has any skin left on his genitals.” A mother told reporters in tears.

I remember my mum forcing me to go, the adverts were all over the TV and radio.
I stood my ground, my answer was if the foreskin is useless God would not have given it to us.
Many ran with the narrative,
