I do not think she is defending women. She is only saying that men do it too if not in excess. The behaviour should be condemned in both men and women. Most comments here seem to imply that men can drink excessively and that is acceptable. And to the man who wants his daughter to be a well cultured lady, what is the point of bring up your daughter to be well balanced educated and only for her to marry a drunkard. Point is men too must be taught to be responsible. If not more so the men than women because they serve as heads of the home. A responsible man, a man who does not drink and cheat but puts his family first with paired with a well responsible woman will make for strong family society and country. So Dr Manda will do better to address the men first.

Human rights this, human rights that…when something is wrong, it is wrong man. The fact still remains some Zambian women (if not three quarters drink too much beer). This is not good at all. Beatrice Grillo (just like most NGOs run by women) should not always be in the habit of defending women even when things are wrong. It is like they are auto tuned to do so…..

The many comments show how inadequate many of us are in the English language! I am in total support with Dr. Manda’s statement and refusal to offer any apology! To whom and over what? Just to please people creating a storm in a tea cup who probably got an F in English subject! Where is the difficulty in understanding the discerning word “SOME” which Dr. Manda used? So if a statement is made that “Some children are rebellious towards their parents” one foresees an outcry! Yes SOME women drink irresponsibly as are SOME men who are womanizers! Aaawe sure! I pity Dr. Manda over attacks on his person on a straight forward observation. Next time Dr. maybe translate whatever statement into any local language you are comfortable with so that SOME of these bloggers facing challenges of the English language can get you right!

Most of these NGOS are urgents of moral decay. They are a danger to our cherished culture. to our respected wives and daughters..no wonder most of them are run by single old and frustrated women who do not see anything wrong with what is considered morally and culturally unacceptable practice.
I think mamma GRIllo needs help. I would like my daughter to be well brought up according to our good culture in addition to academic education so that she will be an inspiration to the nation among her friends. not learned uncultured educated reject who will frequent night clubs..check it out…
