Zambian Dress Code: What Has Gone Wrong?
Dear Editor,
And bena Zambia, will ladies be wrong when say “Men will remain boys!” Are men wrong when they say “tuma ladies twamanje atase tuyenda chintako?” Will our parents stop saying “Kaya manje, these children of nowadays are moving naked and some with dirty undies? I am just thinking aloud of what I have heard. I don’t know what has come into us Zambia Youth.
What has gone wrong? Has the coming of boxers or string pants something to show to the whole that you too have one? What value do clothes have if they don’t cover our bodies? If you want to expose your nudity, why don’t just walk naked than be rude to our parents who advice when they see shame on us in public?
Ask you self as I do to myself, what has gone wrong with our culture? Is what I am wearing appropriate, not offensive to my brother and sisters?
What has gone wrong with men dressing up well and modestly? On man said, it is my lady who has changed my wardrobe to suit the “ideal men she sees on the movies! I am not myself but have to do it for my lady. Ladies, will you walk proudly with a man who drops his trousers with the underwear showing in the name of fashion? Will you be proud of your man who always pulls his trousers up because it is falling? Men, we need to change our dress code. Why should we let ourselves down? Why should our female folks say atase, ati bamuna with chima dirty underwear showing in public? Are we ashamed of the dress code that exposes those dirty undies in the name of fashion? What is fashionable anyway with exposing dirty or clean undies to the public? Lady, help your men to dress appropriately and normal that even when you are introducing them to your parents they will exclaim “While, where did meet him? Guys we need to be ashamed. If you don’t have sisters who can help you dress up properly, ask from those around who can teach you how to dress. Let the hipsters remain for ladies please.
Ladies, help men dress up well and don’t turn them into monsters you see dressing up rugs in movies.
And men, will you walk proudly with a lady who exposed her undies in public? Is it really their right to expose to-ma-ropes in the name of fashion? Worse, even when our mothers in public buses try to pull the tops our sisters, our sisters get pissed and say “let me with your old fashion!” what is fashionable in exposing nakedness in the name of wearing string pants? Remember what you were says something about you in some way. The society is tired of seeing those strings you wear in the name of fashion. What has gone wrong to ladies respecting their bodies?
Men, don’t turn ladies to the standard of monsters you see in movies. Let them be African and adopt what is good. Don’t force them to wear what they exposes their dignity.
Men and women, remember that all clothes are seasonal and have occasions. I wish you know when to wear those string. I wish you men know that is lack of maturity for some who’s a married man to be exposing their dirty boxers. The question is, Can we as Zambian men and women have a particular dress code we would say its Zambian?

Michael Tiketi, could you please revisit your summary writing as taught at grade 9 and 12. A kabompo grade 12 would write your article as “ladies & Gents, boys & girls, can we please dress well and develope a Zambian dress code”
That is all without your childish repeations of questions.
Wonderful discussion though it is, boring in presentation.

This article can be summed up in just one sentence, “Zambians, let’s dress like in the seventies.” The author must aline his mind with the time we are living in. He is too young to take us back 30 years. Has Fault Finder seen this?

@bionic woman, I’ve seen the article but reclined to comment. But since you’ve mentioned it, I can say the author had better tell a trained writer to put together his thoughts. He should also mind his own business.

Michael tkt or whatever the f**k ur illiterate bored self calls urself, firstly u need 2 go back 2 grade 8 to learn how 2 spell n punctuate sentences because ur clearly a grade 8 drop out!
N secondly, let people wear what the f**k they want! U have no right 2 judge other men n women with regards 2 what they wear! U on the other hand need 2 mind ur own business n get a job n a girlfriend! If not, den go ahead n turn gay! No 1 gives a crap about what u think! Silly ass wipe!

Iwe Micheal Ticket, where do you get the energy to write so repetitively? Anyway your concerns are genuine – ala ifwe nomba tuleloshafye! The world has changed so much. During my teenage years and my twenties, what was cool was: 1. How knowledgeable and good you were at your school work, or tasks at work. 2. How neatly and respectfully you showed up in your attire, & 3. The correctness of both your written and spoken form of the English Language. But today, any teenager or those in their early 20′s think maturity is when you learn to drink alcohol, smoke and have sex as well as consume intoxicating drugs, WHAT A CHANGE!!!

The article is very boring and not to the point.Which mothers is he referring to?Koz most of those wearing strings,low cuts and funny tops are equally mothers.may be he meant mothers of the sevenies.Tumfweko next time such articles should not find a place on this site otherwise it was sheet piece if writing.
