Likumbi Lyamize cultural Association has urged the ethnic groups to stick to their traditions and champion their culture.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS, Likumbi Lyamize Cultural Association Chairperson, Prince Brian Kambeu says preserving culture plays a vital role in promoting national identity and unity.
Mr Kambeu has encouraged all the ethnic groups to stick to their traditions and champion their culture.
Mr Kambeu highlighted that it should be every Zambian’s responsibility to ensure that Zambia’s rich cultural heritage is not lost amid Modernisation.
He has emphasised that abuse of makishi in some areas has disheartened the chief of the Luvale people, hence the prince has urged those practicing the vice to respect tradition and culture.
Mr Kambeu also disclosed that the rich culture of the Likumbi Lyamize ceremony has economically contributed massively in the tourism sector.
He has further appealed to the government and other stakeholders to help set up a museum in Zambezi as a source of tourist attraction.
Mr Kambeu stated that the museum will contribute to the call of the Grow Zambia agenda with the boosting of cultural art and other activities as a source of tourist attraction.
He has further urged the public to refrain from publishing Videos of the makishi traditional masked dancer in order to show respect for the culture.
