The desperation of getting what
they want is as shocking and appalling as it is evidently folly in some people.
People have, and they can keep, their different reasons that compel them to
want to change their or someone else’s chronological age. The pressures they
have which they even exert on others might be real, but is that necessary? What
is amazing in and for some is the sheer ignorance that it is actually a crime! If
you ask me to quote you a Statute off the cuff I will not because my interest
and goal is to bring the issue to the glaring arena of community awareness and refrain. The Penal Code Cap 87 of the Laws of Zambia, for example, forbids giving false
information or obtaining anything by false pretenses. Even God’s Law, from
which Statute is derived, forbids it. I thought this should be a community
concern which a Community Radio station could facilitate discussion of, with
participants from different walks of life.
