Dear Editor,
And bena Zambia, will ladies be wrong when say “Men will remain boys!” Are men wrong when they say “tuma ladies twamanje atase tuyenda chintako?” Will our parents stop saying “Kaya manje, these children of nowadays are moving naked and some with dirty undies? I am just thinking aloud of what I have heard. I don’t know what has come into us Zambia Youth.
What has gone wrong? Has the coming of boxers or string pants something to show to the whole that you too have one? What value do clothes have if they don’t cover our bodies? If you want to expose your nudity, why don’t just walk naked than be rude to our parents who advice when they see shame on us in public?
Ask you self as I do to myself, what has gone wrong with our culture? Is what I am wearing appropriate, not offensive to my brother and sisters?
What has gone wrong with men dressing up well and modestly? On man said, it is my lady who has changed my wardrobe to suit the “ideal men she sees on the movies! I am not myself but have to do it for my lady. Ladies, will you walk proudly with a man who drops his trousers with the underwear showing in the name of fashion? Will you be proud of your man who always pulls his trousers up because it is falling? Men, we need to change our dress code. Why should we let ourselves down? Why should our female folks say atase, ati bamuna with chima dirty underwear showing in public? Are we ashamed of the dress code that exposes those dirty undies in the name of fashion? What is fashionable anyway with exposing dirty or clean undies to the public? Lady, help your men to dress appropriately and normal that even when you are introducing them to your parents they will exclaim “While, where did meet him? Guys we need to be ashamed. If you don’t have sisters who can help you dress up properly, ask from those around who can teach you how to dress. Let the hipsters remain for ladies please.
Ladies, help men dress up well and don’t turn them into monsters you see dressing up rugs in movies.
And men, will you walk proudly with a lady who exposed her undies in public? Is it really their right to expose to-ma-ropes in the name of fashion? Worse, even when our mothers in public buses try to pull the tops our sisters, our sisters get pissed and say “let me with your old fashion!” what is fashionable in exposing nakedness in the name of wearing string pants? Remember what you were says something about you in some way. The society is tired of seeing those strings you wear in the name of fashion. What has gone wrong to ladies respecting their bodies?
Men, don’t turn ladies to the standard of monsters you see in movies. Let them be African and adopt what is good. Don’t force them to wear what they exposes their dignity.
Men and women, remember that all clothes are seasonal and have occasions. I wish you know when to wear those string. I wish you men know that is lack of maturity for some who’s a married man to be exposing their dirty boxers. The question is, Can we as Zambian men and women have a particular dress code we would say its Zambian?
