The words "yekedero" or "yeke-yeke" in Zim slang means to purposefully neglect to take safety measures during coitus as a way to enhance the pleasurable moments by avoiding latex contraceptive methods even in one-nightstand situations. The downside to this is the result of either contracting STDs or even HIV/AIDS in the process.

This is why some people in Zimbabwe and the diaspora have raised points that the promotion of the "yekedero" craze by some (but not all) Zimdancehall artists in their songs is detrimental to the fight against HIV/AIDS. By the way, Zim Hip-Hop music is another genre with culprits who sometimes use "yekedero" suggestive lyrics in their rap songs.

Other Zim slang synonyms for yekedero are:
  • mupostori
  • nyorovhita
  • yekedhinyo
