‘Values cannot be sacrificed in name of marketing’
NOEL IYOMBWA writes@SunZambianGOVERNMENT will not allow the values and principles of the land to be deliberately violated in the name of marketing products and services.Ministry of National Guidance and Religious minister Godfridah Sumaili said government has noted with concern the increased number of indecent pictures being posted on social media platforms.She said Zambia has set for herself through the constitution National values and principles to guide people in the manner they should conduct themselves whether in private or business setups and Zambia being a Christian nation has Christian values to be respected.Rev Sumaili stated that exposure of bodies by both men and women is in cultural and unconstitutional and therefore all well-meaning Zambians should condemn such manoeuvres.“I wish to urge product promoters, social media influencers and sponsors of products and services to be mindful of the cultures they operate in and ensure they adhere to the set national values and principles as they conduct their businesses.“Influence in society should be about positively imparting people and not violating people’s rights in the name of enjoying ones rights, “she said.
