Zambian Member of Parliament Sakwiba Sikota has said it is not possible to use law to prohibit issues to do with morals such as having many partners. And Chief Nalubamba of Namwala said norms that were applicable 30 years ago were not applicable anymore in this era, says AllAfrica.com.
Mr Sikota said during a discussion on HIV/AIDS issues at Capital Theatre in Livingstone in May there was need to empower knowledge to communities on the dangers of having many partners.
“It is not possible to prohibit issues to do with morals using the law. The way forward is to empower knowledge in people on the dangers of multiple concurrent relationships,” Mr Sikota said.
Talk about it
What do you think? Would it be wise for African governments to even attempt to use the law to discourage multiple concurrent partnerships?
