Copperbelt provincial Minister Mwansa Mbulakulima has appealed to people to refrain from associating Museums with witchcraft.
The Minister said Museums were simply sites where valuable natural pieces of heritage were preserved for reference and admiration.
Mr. Mbulakulima made the appeal this morning during the commemoration of the International Museums Day under the theme “Museums and Tourism” held at the Civic Center grounds in Ndola.
He said this year’s theme explained the aim of ensuring that tourism interacted with cultures around the world adding that attitudes and approaches needed to take into consideration both tangible and intangible heritage.
Mr. Mbulakulima has however said the tourism industry’s incredible growth over the past five decades is stagnating due to the global financial crisis.
And speaking earlier, Northern Regional Tourism Co-coordinator Veronica Milimo said Museums were social institutions that reflected and conveyed what was happening in society.
Mrs Milimo said there was need to increase the value of the heritage of people as it defined a base of cultural knowledge of a particular people.
She further appealed to government to increase the quality and value of museums country wide.
Zambia today joined the rest of the world in commemorating the international Museums Day which falls on 18th May every year.

Hahahahahahahaha Olympia extension chick! Where are school is done this semester? Or are you in Cali. with the trimester schedule. Back to the article lol hahahaha.
he’s kidding right. our people are not that backwards. it must be him who thinks like that otherwise he would not have brought it up!
I just dont get it,.. okay, maybe its just because I haven’t been into a zambian museum before. kansi what can zambia put into a museum? obvious ni vi thumwa, ma lilomba and that KK’s white ka nyula?
Let’s be honest with ourselves: witchcraft is a part of African heritage and African heritage is displayed in the museum, so where did the people go wrong?
To be honest with you , some African museums display witchcraft history which is scary indeed.. historical/educational purpose or not,….filatinya mwee… limo limo..kuti walota ubushiku…
The museum of Mongu (Limulunga) is full of witchcraft. Its scary as hell.
No# 6 Toko I have been to that one and the one in Livingstone. lol hahahahahahahahaha, I can see the looks on Zambian families right now covering their children’s eyes ati Amamamwe vinyau ine naopa hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Bushe uyu Mbalakulima anayendako ku Livingstone museum? Kuli va umfwiti veka veka. How can’t we associate museums with witchcraft? That is what was passed on to us!
Bushe ama lomba yalipwa?
Zambia has recorded an increase in jokers in the recent past, therefore, there is a possibility that even this year the number will go high than ever.
iwe Mbulakulima,museums are full of witchcraft and they will be so forever.you should have said “pipo shudnt associate museums with LIVE witchcraft” and assured them that “that which is in museums now is expired witchcraft”.
aubulakulima nga chali shani? witchcraft is in the hood, not in the museum, bwana. nga nalandako ati kabaila. in canada they have a psychic research centre. in philosophy its called metaphysics. our greatest quoted scientists practised alchemy. fimo fine. kubikapo research ninshi tabalaikatilapo ba buga. we have something more powerful than nuclear energy. mwilatuchinga.
