Vice President Inonge Wina has urged parents to take keen interest in the activities of their children.
Mrs. Wina says the recent reports of children engaging in illicit activities is of concern to government and is exhibiting moral decay.
She says it is the responsibility of parents to revisit the parental roles and guide children closely because they are the future generation.
Mrs. Wina was speaking during the recording of national address following reports of children engaging in illicit activities in Lusaka.
The Vice President said it is vital for every Zambian to realize that citizens only have one country that should not be destroyed through immoral acts and bad behavior.
Mrs. Wina has also urged local authorities to build social amenities that will help children build their creative minds.
She said local authorities should not rush to invade spaces meant for social recreation for economically viable activities.
Mrs Wina has further called on various stakeholders such as the church, civil society organsitions to join and build facilities that will create ventures that will allow children to be creative in a positive way.
This is second republic advice. Most parents have to hassle double to put food on the table. And because of hardships, they are also busy consoling each other in bars and kitchen parties. When it comes to night time, they have to spend at funerals time and again considering that there funerals every now and then. Its these gaps that these juvenile delinquents take advantage of. Lets work on the economy to allow parents to relax at home with their children
What a poor excuse for parental negligence.
Inonge, do you have pictures of Edgar and his drinking budies shirt-less in Swaziland?
Very good and timely advice to parents. But the local gov’t has given out all the plots, including places that used to football playing fields or recreational parks; the Local gov’t has failed us and a more radical approach is needed to reclaim the land initially meant for such social amenities. Maybe we need to start afresh, there is just a lot of confusion, we can’t have party carders selling and allocating plots. God bless Zambia!
