First Lady, Christine Kaseba, has described the high number of child marriages in Zambia has a crisis.
Speaking in interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) from Lusaka, Dr Kaseba said child marriages must be fought with the same energy that saw the country reduce the HIV prevalence from 25 per cent to the current 16 percent.
She said HIV was considered a crisis when the prevalence rate stood at 25 per cent,the country therefore needs to do something about the 42 per cent of girls that are either married or impregnated off before they reach the age of 18 years.
The First Lady, however, expressed happiness that leaders at different levels are getting involved in the fight against early marriages.
Dr Kaseba pointed out that traditional leaders have become active in fighting the vice because of heightened awareness in the country.
She also commended the media in Zambia for their role in raising awareness as well as fighting early marriages.
Why is Sata still lingering in South Africa? A president of hide and seek is only visible on photos. Bring him back and convene a press conference and explain why he has disappeared in oblivion.
Aids can only end if people behave maturely and start respecting God. Education should be encrypted and people should also embark upon teaching the younger generation about the consequences of sex.
Meanwhile, bring back Mr president and not photos.
Kaseba, suspend other crises, your husband not governing is a major crisis. Lets first sort this one out and then you can get back to the mundane issues as first lady. Right now it isn’t business as usual for you. You could be useful if you nicely force your husband to give way to a more energetic and sober leader to carry on until elections in 2016. People just might forgive his stup!dity, if he steps down.
Wantanshi it is you who is stup!d. All your comments are full of sh!t.
