THE Patriotic Front (PF) deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri says in Zambia, people are free to wear anything, adding that if they want they can even move naked because the country has no dress code.
Speaking on a Joy FM radio programme, Mrs. Phiri distanced her party from the indecent clothes printed ‘Vote PF’ being worn by women and girls.
Pictures of young girls and women indecently dressed in tight body tops and leggings printed ‘Vote PF’ have gone viral and this has agitated members of the public.
But Mrs. Phiri said the PF had not printed any indecent party regalia apart from the chitenge, hats, work suits, overalls and jumpers.
“They have been telling us, some of these rape cases which are happening, it’s because of the way we dress we are enticing men. We refuse, we say have the freedom to dress the way we want to dress. And it’s up to me as a parent to teach my children in the way they should grow. If I stand up and I go and dress my daughter she is coming from a home, and you expect Mumbi to correct a wrong, we can’t,” Mrs. Phiri said.
“You are the same girls who start complaining. Have you ever seen me wearing leggings like that? No! People are free to dress the way they dress and we can’t cage them. Even in UPND, I have seen women wearing red dresses, some bubus, some bum shorts, you can’t stop them.
They buy their own clothes, they go and print, as PF we can’t stop them. They are using their own money.”
Mrs. Phiri said it would be wrong if it was the PF printing regalia in form of leggings to give children and women to expose themselves.
She said the regalia that had been printed by the PF so far was chitenge, scarves, overall, work suits, cold season jumpers and that the party had not printed any leggings or bum shorts.
Mrs. Phiri said the indecent clothes that were being worn by women on the streets printed PF were being done by individuals.
Asked why the PF had not taken any legal action concerning the indecent clothes printed PF that women were wearing, Mrs. Phiri said: “The picture which is in Today’s (yesterday) Post, the faces are not even seen. The PF party is the biggest political party in Zambia. We can’t know if those pictures were taken in Sha’ngombo, if they were taken from Nabwalya Chiwombo, or if they were taken from Msanzala in Petauke. It’s difficult. We don’t know every member by their faces and as I said, people in Zambia, we don’t have a dress code. If it was in Uganda, people could be told what to wear but we don’t have a dress code and anybody is free to even to move naked.”
Mrs.Phiri said people were free to wear what they were comfortable with adding that the issue of the dress code had been a contentious issue for a long time.
kikikikiki ala pf are desperate. Mumbi is a very dull fool just like the entire pf. Hasnt she heard of the crime of indecent exposure? The country does not need to have a dress code but a person found dressed indecently would be charged. Very thick woman. Zambians are glad to be getting rid of these ignorant pillocks. vote upnd
Its great that we can now have something to enjoy looking at, and possibly use in the evenings, Courtesy of PF.. I am actaully seing one of those girls taking David Chama or Frank Bwalya to court in a year’s time for child support and maintenance claims…Just wait..PF does it all
its called advertising where most people are likely to set their eyes..we see this every day but for madam mumbi’s issue of moving naked i guess she didn’t mean it in that sense..
You are speaking of a person that can barely assemble a coherent sentence and you’re hoping that she can read. Error number one.
You assume that this dunce of a woman would give a flying fûck about any document that may limit ger freedom of rank stùpidity. Error 2
You actually assume that she gives a fúck about Zambia and Zambians. The woman is obsessed with staying in influence and out of jail. Upnd winning election is a life or death matter for Pf members. Jail time awaits.
Mumbi is a 2016 Esther Nakawala/ Regina Mwanza. These are your basic whor_es in the real sense of the word.
These are “kit comfort” or women that tag along for sêxual entertainment of the people in office. No brains required.
Ask Dora and mama kankasa. They are familiar with the Lewinsky type jobs.
Tuli nama shape utuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!! Ansoooooooooooo!!!!!
When I was first discovering myself when I was a teenager, my Mom comes knocking right as I was getting ready to finish up. She didn’t trust me to have my room closed because I was always burning shit for some reason. She kept insisting that I open the door and I kept telling her to wait. But I kept on jerking because I thought she would go away. As a new ‘bater I didnt know I was getting ready to cum and after yelling at my Mom to go away several times, I finished then in the most awkward moment I said “I’m coming” and had to face her at the door post random explosion. I cracked the door and stuck my face out so that my bone wouldn’t be showing.She kept insisting that she be let in because she didn’t trust what I was doing in there etc.. I was forced to tell her “I was masturbating “. She was shocked and it was the most awkward moment ever between mother and son. She just left me alone after that for a few hours where I hid in my room in shame. I didn’t get the irony of the “I’m coming” until years later,
Thats’ my worst/
I,will support Mumbi Phiri about dressing code, please members of parliament should put a law for dressing especially women ( Ukwenda ubwamba kwacilamo maka maka kuli ba na mayo,aba nono naba kalamba cimo cine,please put up dressing code in our constitution of Zambia.
With my small thinking the title would have been Mumbi Phiri distances herself from the indecent dressing by unknown/identified PF cadres/sympathiser. She has explained very clear and understood by an open minded person. The truth stands no matter what you say. Who knows may somebody meant something else.
Wtf tunfweko. Why misquoting mumbi. She didn’t say naked please. Meanwhile I can’t see anything wrong with that dressing. Is that not what our girls wear everyday. Upnd HH paraded women and made them walk topless at mutapa funeral. Out memories are still fresh. These pf ladies look appetizing
Do not be decieved by body-shapes most sexy looking h o t m a m a’ s & p a p a ‘s are on ARV’s.
Garnished with HIV, bleaching creams, brazillian hair, false nails and false eyelashes.. If you remove all that you’ll find that there are just a bag of bones!
People it is just a common cause, anyone can come up with anything. So i see no reason for condemning PF. These are coming from your very homes.
Who wants a national dress?
You want some ill designed gab that will make us look like clowns, forget.
I can nothing wrong , is it not what we always see on streets. This is how your girl friends dress.
Next news please.
Is this not what girls have been dressing or is it because it is written PF at the back that it is now sinister, otherwise this is our every day dressing with our girls, even those who come from very respected families. Leave PF alone, those are PF supporters.
Its called spicing things a bit. Getting away from the usual chitenge, cap and t shirt which became boring!
RB na Lungu share the same desparation, RB dressed every tree and dog in Z, uyu ena dresses every prostitute and jerabo.
Upnd has ulgly girls PF has beatiful girls..ni jealous..
Useless comment what has that got to do with the President? Do you dress you daughters every morning in your home? stupid idiot.
What is desperation?Who is desperate between PF and upnd? leave the gals out of these bakalume namukumbwafye mwilaicaila viva PF.
I think we are wasting time on fushion even tthe interviewer had nothing to ask about coz these are the dressing we see in our daily lives,so it has nothing to do with any political party

and you have just posted a half naked woman ati model…. tumfweko be professional you behave like wild dogs.. hipsters and leggings we see them day in day out ..now because they have a pf label its indecent.. think
There shall never be a mind Transplant not in this LIFE not ever? If we keep looking up on anything from Govt even what size or color of pant to wear then we are nothing but ICARBODS ; we are as good as dead! Charity begins at Home & what we see nowadays is nothing but MORAL DECAY! & one FOOL thinks Govt has to change how you dress or what you EAT!
You are what You THINK & you can even be better than You think!
If you’ve got it…flaunt it. That’s what the women say.
It you flaunt it…we’ll fùck it. That’s what the men say.
Mumbi you’re double speaking you biatch. One tongue says that you didn’t set shît up. The other is saying that women have the right to dress like shítty hoes.
Then your dumb áss is all about women’s lib and dignity. But you’re all over ECL like a rash.
Just say “PF is for biatches and hoes” we need your vote to stay in money while you stay fûcked.
The hassle os that the UPND has a whole lot of Adventist women that have natural hair and are frigid as the polar caps. Those are some boring women. No meat, no dopes, no music no fun. They are like a walking dirge (funeral song)..
But mwandi shame on mother Zambia having leaders who promote morol decay, God will punish u.pliz God come and rescue us from this Sodom and gomora
AWE KUTI BAILISHANYA BA UNDP SHILYA INDELESHI BALASA ABA TONGA AWEKUWAYAWAYAFYE.
Cover your mouth your green teeth is showing, UNDP=United Nations Development Programme, UPND =United Party for National Development, what’s so difficult about differentiating the two organizations.
A short lesson on the word “dress”.
The word can be used as a noun “a black dress”, as a verb “dress up”, as an adjective “she was dressed in tight clothes”.
When you say that government should enact a “dressing code”, you are saying that grz shoul enact a law that governs the action of dressing and not the adjective of the type of dress.
Sikulu bane, it is important
Laws are enacted not “put up”.
Buladi sheeeet.
Mu kazi lemba mu cha kwanu. Osa tyola chidzunu
Lungu sonta epowabomba to declare K23 million worth of assets, when in January 2015 presidential by elections you couldn’t even raise the presidential nomination fee, the old fossil chikwanda had to bail you out for you to pay the fees.
Let’s face it..the time Michael Sata (MHSRIP) came into power,I remember him mentioning that he will rule zambia using the 10 commandments..to me he was simply saying ruling the country on Biblical principles..the image of the party also matters in this case..to me,this type of dressing dents the Image of the party whose founder member wanted the christian ideology to cover the party and not bringing such indecency..moreover,we have older people,mothers and fathers that support PF..how do you think they look at party that’s in power allowing such dressing in the name of “PF”?? Myself,I can’t vote for a party that can allow such a kind of a thing among its supporters..the Image matters…
Lungu is only into Christianity for one simple reason, votes.
Malwele yekayeka….
The lawmaker seems to be ignorant. Its so shameful to note that she insists that there’s nothng they can do about it because we have no dress code wen the offence is clear and well known, its name being ‘indecent exposure’. I think that these guys have encouraged more immorality in our country by bowing down to every demand of their cerdas.
hehehe nanga those foolish UPND women that protested with bras? UPND said nothing because its a party that lacks morals
Hohoho, those foolish UPND WOMEN were aggrieved and protesting for some Justice a totally different situation and circumstance, but on th contraly yo girls have gone haywire displaying themselves to attract voters. If you want to find better words to call this nuisance, then go ahead!
This is a christian nation we claim with indecent dressing.Lesa twafweni.
