The Polygamist is dumb, but not in the way you think.
Part of the plotline’s climax is that Jonasi Gomora’s first wife hires a HIV+ woman that she met a few years earlier to infect her serial cheater husband by sleeping with him.
Jonasi subsequently dies because he doesn’t take his HIV meds. The story here is that the woman tasked with passing on the infection still appears healthy between the time she’s infected and when she infects him, which presupposes that she’s on ARVs, yet she’s simultaneously highly infectious enough to infect someone after one encounter.
This storyline is completely detached from scientific reality, perpetuating outdated HIV stigmas and ignores how transmission and treatment actually work.
The reality is that the fundamental principle of HIV is Undetectable = Untransmittable. So if the HIV lady is healthy because she is consistently taking her ARVs, as her health status implies, then her viral load would be undetectable.
In the real world, U=U has proven that a person with an undetectable viral load has ZERO risk of transmitting the virus sexually. By making her healthy yet somehow highly infectious, the show ignores the primary mechanism of how HIV treatment works.
Then there’s just the inefficiency of sexual transmission of HIV.
The chances of a female infecting a male in penile-vaginal intercourse is just 4 out of 10 000 exposures, or a 0.04% chance per act, and that’s assuming the female partner is untreated and has a detectable viral load, which, going by how the show’s plotline treats Jonasi’s progression with the infection, she herself should have been sick and dying by the time she’s approached.
The idea that Jonasi subsequently dies simply because he didn’t take HIV meds implies a rapid progression to AIDS and death, as his twins are barely 3 or 4 years old when he dies, when they must have 2 or so when he got infected. No strain of HIV is this potent.
In the end, the writers sacrificed medical accuracy for dramatic flair, falling back on an old, misogynist trope of the “infectious femme fatale” while completely ignoring the realities of ARVs and transmission statistics.
If the writers wanted to keep the plot point of a highly effective assassination via HIV, shifting to a parenteral route like an infected blood transfusion or an injection would have made the scheme a lot more plausible.
A blood transfusion has an estimated per-act probability of 9250 out of 10 000 exposures.
That is a staggering 92.5% transmission rate from a single event. Compared to the microscopic 0.04% chance of insertive penile-vaginal intercourse.
A contaminated transfusion or heavy blood injection turns the plot from statistically impossible into a near-certainty.
Also, since the show already established that the wife has a corrupt doctor on her payroll, a medical frame-up is a perfect fit. Jonasi gets into a minor accident, or is drugged and admitted to the hospital, the doctor claims he needs a blood transfusion and deliberately uses a contaminated batch🤷🏾♂️
The entire thing is a missed opportunity for the writers, who chose to substitute lazy, stigmatising writing for what could have been a tightly plotted thrilling climax.
South Africa has been destabilized for years and we need to self symbolize our national procurements and this will only emancipate if the Namibian government incertivise national companies
THE COST OF DEPENDING ON SA
Namibia's greatest economic risk is not lack of resources. It's overdependence on one country. Food,banking, retail, logistics& currency should never be tied so heavily to a single economy &a former colonizer.Diversification is national security 1/8
I've seen a video of apparently of a Namibian truck driver tortured and covered in bloodshed in South Africa 🇿🇦. To all South Africans pathetic retardes hooligans Namibia 🇳🇦 will retaliate if our brothers and sisters are not spared from inhumane attacks. Not bluffing

A Zambian truck driver was shot dead in Durban, South Africa, in an incident believed to have involved criminals.
The United Truck Drivers and Allied Workers Union of Zambia president, Givers Moonga, condemned Victor Bwalya’s killing, describing it as a senseless and barbaric act against a driver who contributed to regional trade and economic activity.
Moonga said the union received the news with shock and sadness and extended condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and the transport community.
He said the motive behind the shooting is not yet known and called on South African law enforcement authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
The union president also raised concern over the continued insecurity faced by truck drivers operating on regional routes, saying more needs to be done to protect drivers working across borders.
The union has since called on the governments of Zambia and South Africa, as well as transport stakeholders, to strengthen security measures to safeguard truck drivers.

Venaani asked the prime minister that if we can’t handle 4 years kids begging in streets, will we handle them when they become adults? If we can’t handle kids being beggars, can we handle real issues of Namibia? He added that begging has never been part of our culture. Valid 🔥
Leave us alone and consider the cause and which deprived men emotion. Stop exaggerating and understand that your western cultural appropriation from your gender is the essence of our mental break down. Pinning on man while women are the extreme inflictor and extorting is aowl
One of the South African anti-immigrant protesters says to someone born in Germany who has lived in SA for 20 years (unclear if she is a citizen/visa) that she is no longer German but South African. If she were a black African, I hope they would be equally kind :)
Everyone who has watched The Polygamist on Netflix hates Jonasi Gomora but you all missed the real bad potato, a true gold digger. This girl is a real baddie.
