Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, Dora Siliya, has advised young people in the creative arts in the Southern African region to work together to grow the industry.

Ms. Siliya says this is one of the ways that can help create the much needed jobs among talented young people in the region.

She noted that no government in the region is capable of creating jobs for all its young people hence the need to grow industries such as creative arts and film because of the potential to create employment.

The Minister, who is also Chief Government Spokesperson, further appealed to young people to take advantage of every opportunity made available to them such as the talent factory academy to create jobs for themselves and their peers.

Ms. Siliya was speaking in Lusaka today when she addressed local and foreign artists after a conducted tour of the Talent Factory Academy for Southern African region situated at ZAMCOM institute.

The Academy, which is a Multi Choice initiative, is expected to be launched tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Ms. Siliya has also called upon the business sector in Zambia and the region as a whole to support the initiative by Multi Choice to grow the film industry and ensure that it contributes to economic growth in Zambia and the Southern African region as a whole.

And Veteran artist Jeff Sitali said young people in the Southern African region have a lot of talent that requires to be explored and supported.

The Talent Factory Academy has attracted students from countries across the Southern Region including Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe and Zambia.

    • I feel sad for this lady Dora. She always get insulted, no matter what… she get insulted. She is the most abused Zambian woman ever.

    • Call her whatever you wish or throw mud at her, Dora has developed thick skin and she’s ambitious! She’s probably setting her sights way ahead than ordinarily can be known for the moment! I am guessing she’s got a strategy afoot towards the highest office of the land! Of the females in politics, Nawakwi not withstanding who would be Dora’s able challenger?

  1. Kambwili who is also a thief has asked why Lungu’s account has grown so high in only one year in office and we are all ignoring this. What kind of mwibala does Lungu work in which gives him such a big harvest? Why arent you journalists putting more pressure on Lungu?

  2. Dora if you want the young people to work together lead by example and work together with your colleagues in the opposition to get this country out of this quagmire.

  3. As a leader, your performance is assessed by your subjects who may tag you as his/her ‘’ Excellency, honourable, humble, able and capable’’ leader or ‘’Mediocrity, Dishonourable, Arrogant, unable and incapable’’ leader. Usually, the honest tag is the one expressed when you are not around.
