THE second Vice-President Seif Ali Iddi has said that some artistes in the country are to blame for contributing to moral decay and ruining of culture as they unethically sing and dress.<\/p>\n
\u201cArtistes are supposed to be highly respected, but some of them lead in ruining our culture. The message in the songs and the way they dress while performing is against our culture. It is unfortunate children easily grasp and practice,\u201d Iddi said.<\/p>\n
The Second Vice-President made the comments while talking to Ally Salehe Kiba (famous as King AliKiba), the Bongo Flava artiste who paid a courtesy call to his office, Vuga Street, Stone Town.<\/p>\n
Ambassador Iddi said that artistes are well known for entertaining, an opportunity for promoting acceptable behaviour including decent dressing among youths.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is good if art is used to educate and promote our culture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Iddi commended the artiste for being among a few promoting Tanzania culture along with his socio responsibility by supporting youth through \u2018Ali-Kiba un forgettable\u2019 campaign, \u201cYou have been doing a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
In reaction to Iddi\u2019s comments Ali Kiba said his campaign aims at promoting individual health screening and visiting higher learning institutions to encourage expected graduates to get prepared for self-employment including becoming artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
