Police Want Law To Criminalise Sensual or Suggestive Dancing
POLICE are waiting and crying for the day Parliament will enact a law to criminalises sensual or suggestive dancing, says deputy Inspector General of Police Solomon Jere.
Speaking at Parliament on this morning when he appeared before the committee on legal affairs chaired by Monze UPND Member of Parliament Jack Mwiimbu, Jere said police had noticed with great concern the different styles of dancing that had become common nowadays, which he said were different from the ones practiced in the olden days.
“But it is very difficult for the police to do something about controlling the way people dance unless Parliament comes up with an Act to criminalise certain types of dancing. It will become easy for us to move in and pounce on certain types of movements which are very suggestive. So for now, we are legally tied as we watch certain types of expositions in different outlets of drinking. For the police, we are also waiting and crying that one day, there will be something to control the nature of dancing. We cannot at present do anything in terms of how people are supposed to be controlled on how they should dance,” Jere said.
He said this in response to committee member and Mwandi MMD Member of Parliament Michael Kaingu, who wanted to know what police were doing to address the issue of pornographic stuff in music videos.
Kaingu said certain dances in music videos enticed people to commit offences against women and girls.
The committee on legal affairs, governance, human rights, gender matters and child affairs was looking at the judicial reforms in the justice system in Zambia and enforcement of the law relating to violence and harassment against women and girls in Zambia.

Solomon Jere what kind of a policeman are you? Its time government provided quality education to these uniformed people. How can a right thinking man urge the government to criminalise dancing? You might as well criminalise breathing. When the white man arrived in Africa he found our dancing too suggestive so he shooed us from public places to dance far from civilisation. To him our dancing may have been suggestive but now the world has realised that is just the way Africans dance! It graceful its beguiling its pleasing to the eye its aesthetic it may be erotic but its how we enjoy ourselves. The Western media industry stole this dancing and it now features on all their videos and they pay nothing for stealing our intellectual property. Jere please get civilised. This is not a dictatorship its a democracy. The police keep order. Go police crime not behaviour.
