Comedian Thomas Sipalo alias Diffikoti says there is no law in Zambia which compels anyone to put on an underwear.
The comedian is responding to remarks attributed to Minister of Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili that the South African entertainer Zodwa Wabantu would not be allowed to enter Zambia if she won’t put on her underwear.
Zodwa Wabantu is known for her dances in South Africa and for dressing provocatively without under wears. She is set to make a surprise appearance at Karasa Karayo’s album launch at the weekend at Lusaka’s Hollywood City but uncertainty of whether or not Zodwa will be granted entry into Zambia by the immigration abounds, following declaration by Sumaili that until the South African proves she will be wearing her underwears, she won’t enter Zambia.
Some sections of the media reports that Sumaili says Zodwa is banned in Zambia because she will corrupt morals.But when contacted, Sumaili said Zodwa is free to come to Zambia provided she comes with her panties.
However, in response Diffikoti says wearing a pant is one’s choice.
“… And how many women wear their pants? In whose interest is the same woman (Minister Godfridah Sumaili) stopping Zodwa?,” Diffikoti asks.
He states that those who claim are holy should just not attend the function where Zodwa is set to appear adding that those who enjoy watching nudity should gladly attend to watch the private parts of the South African dancer.
“It’s a free country. Ni Zodwa wanyoko (Does Zodwa belong to your mother?),” The comedian asks using Rupiah Banda’s most preferred choice of words.
And Diffikoti says banning Zodwa Wabantu is yet another misplaced order by what he terms ‘a useless selective ministry’.
