Paramount chief Mpezeni meets people during the Ncwala

Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni people of Eastern Province has called for male circumcision clinics.

Paramount Chief Mpezeni said as a tool in the fight against HIV/AIDS circumcision should be encouraged adding that HIV/AIDS is everyone’s concern.

The Paramount Chief said this in a speech read on his behalf by his representative George Zulu at a luncheon which was held at US Ambassador to Zambia Mark Storella’s residence in Sunningdale in Kabulonga.

He added that there was need to fight the disease by returning some of the good customs practiced in traditions such as circumcision.

Present at the luncheon was Republican President Rupiah Banda and Defence Minister Kalombo Mwansa.

Meanwhile Paramount Chief Mpezeni has said that he is looking for an investor from the United States of America (USA) to partner with his people in putting up a factory at Feni his headquarters to manufacture coal-bricates.

Paramount Chief Mpezeni said that this would be an alternative to charcoal energy.

He said with America’s advanced technology, the industry could go a long way in stopping the savage destruction of the forest for charcoal.

The Paramount Chief also gave Ambassador Storella a white shield and a black knob-Karee a symbol of peace between the Ngoni and the Americans.

  1. Don’t tell me that circumcision is the solution to AIDS tell people to abstain and be faithful to their pattener. Is the chief himself circumcised? he must lead by example and go for circumcision himself.

  2. King Mpezeni, abstenance no busaka are the only answer for your unmarried boys. Hands off my precious hood and that of my boys! If God had wanted it different, he would have fashioned it so. Ala, do not be hoodwinked by experimenting donors.

  3. Yes cutting the penis is not the solution.you should instead preach abstainance.why do you what to go against God’s creation.its shameful that even the men of God have joined in this useless song of circumcsion.we shall not go there.Do you what to make us impotent you fools? Are the donors also cutting theirs.Please respect God & leave us alone.

  4. I totally agree with the above posts 100%. This is also another form of genital mutilation. Why should it be different from that of females’? I know of a friend who was cut when he was a baby and later, went on to sue his parents for having done that to him. He is currently undergoing foreskin restoration. And also there are many more who are regretting after they realize that they can no longer enjoy S3X as they used to.

  5. # 1 I agree,I don’t think just because one has been butchered mercilessly then they will be protected this is nonsense,faithfulness and abstenance is the answer.I can forsee more people getting infected because of ignorance.Answer is keep your ntwenos in your trouser not exposing them anyhow,there some men who can not see a thigh they want to go beyond the thigh and for some of you women not even the gentile multilation will help learn to close your fimofimo,problem ubusoshi too much.

  6. Donor money haz really got into some peoplez headz. I respect the tradition of the people North-Western Province, but this wanton, greedy and desperate move to nationalize male genital mutilation in the name of HIV prevention(to get just that prophesized 60%) should not be tolerated.

  7. Sorry I meant # 2 not #1,What abut East Africa where it is a practie is there no infection this is bull again just keep the ntwenos and if possible get a big stainless steel padlock for your zippers-for the gents and the ladies I would suggest charstity belts with the key kept in a safe not gental mutilation,Do not be cheated this operation has sometimes gone bad causing the loss of the ntweno due to infection by using unsterilised surgical implements.Doe that mean that Mpezeni just want’s a hospital specifically for butchering ntwenos?this is really arbsurd why not ask the mobile clinics to carry out the butchering am sure hospitals can be built for a much more important use than of beheading of people’s private parts.

  8. I agree with many of the comments above. When we say a fight against HIV/AIDS, does it mean we are now looking at circumcision the same way condoms have been viewed. Then I tell you they will even be more infections and you watch this, period.

  9. Nkosi wama Nkosi those ords of wisdom and for those who still carry that ugly foreskin pliz have it removed as it is a source of infections. it easily gets bruised during intercourse and also habours dirty like smegma in bemba amanyami. you also enjoy sex without the skin bcos your erection is more stiff and you last without premature ejaculation much to the pleasure of your partner. come on guys remove chi skin

  10. Iwe chi lady gaga, why should premature ejaculation be considered a problem, or even why is it even called pre-mature?? The whole reason for having sex is to PRO-CREATE. Whether you come in 2 seconds or 2 hours, it has the same affect as far as making a kid, sha! Kabiye uko ****** we!

  11. Moderator, # 14…I totally agree…alot of men are traumatised that they are not man enough by “hungry women” wo are simply addicted to …ntwenooooo…
    We should not be held to ransom…….
    I also firmly believe nature is there for a good reason…that skin was meant for some good purpose. Best designs have always been modelled after nature and it works well…

    Infections come as a result of poor hygiene…period….

  12. #14 MODERATOR I SEE YOU HAVE NO SEXUAL PROWESS AND DONT LAST. SEX ISNT ONLY TO PROCREATE BUT ALSO TO ENJOY. WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE A PROBLEM OF HIV AND AIDS. ITS BCOS THE VIRUS HAS FOUND ITSELF WERE YOU AND ME ENJOY MOST. WE HAVE MILLIONS DYING OF AIDS NOT BCOS THEY WANT TO PROCREATE BUT BCOS THEY WANT TO ENJOY SEX. THATS WHY YOU SHUD REMOVE THAT DIRTY FORESKIN IWE MODERATOR IFIKO. YOU WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO SATISFY YOUR LADY. I CANT SLEEP WITH A MAN WHO HAS THAT UGLY SKIN

  13. Please#13Lady gaga and # 14Moderatori don’t bring your personal view points over circumsion here, come up with some educative comments. Lady gaga if you have had S3X with uncircumsed keep qiet coz you can only compare when have both experiences and if you say you can’t sleep with uncircumsed man give us concret reasons.
    #Lad gaga S3X is just the same circumsed or uncircumsed. If you are dirty you are dirty,,, I’m not circumsed but my penis is ever clean and kissable. Gaga don’t tel me that you only fall in love when you see undressed penis, utubepe mambala.

  14. I have just discovered that some of you are honourable men of God, dispite the insults I see on this blog.
    May God deliver you so that you continue dwelling in God’s presence forever.

  15. blogaz male circumcision is has been shown by robust evidence to lower male’s chances of getting HIV.it is one of the HIV prevention strategies. NO PERSON will be force to take part in the prevention oppotunity however beneficial it may be.

  16. In at least six African countries, more of the circumcised men have HIV than the non-circumcised, so the “60% protection” doesn’t seem to work in the real world. Abstinence is a big ask, but condoms and “zero grazing” (one partner at a time) would do much more.
    @VJ Rigger: if you are a Christian, Gal 5:2 overrrides Gen 17.
    @Lady Gaga: the foreskin contains more than 20,000 specialised nerves, giving more control. Not just more sensitivity, but better sensation.

  17. Those promoting circumcision are maliciously ignoring Wawer/Gray 2009 who showed that circumcising Ugandan men INCREASED the risk that they would transmit HIV female partners by 50%. Until this finding is studied further it is very irresponsible to tell men circumcision is any kind of answer.
