He said for him, going out to look after cattle at an early age was not child abuse but a lesson where he learnt the art of hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing children who gathered to celebrate World Children\u2019s Day (WCD) in Lusaka yesterday, President Hichilema said there is need to have a conversation around child abuse.<\/p>\n<p>He added during the world children\u2019s commemorations broadcast live on ZNBC TV 1 that there is a distinction between child abuse and teaching children the art of hard work. President Hichilema said he does not agree that a child of 13 years should be asking a maid to make him or her a cup of tea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we must ask UNICEF to begin to redefine the meaning and distinction between child abuse and teaching children how to work&#8230; the art of work&#8230;the art of responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He lamented that modern-day children are losing the art of working for what they need. Mr. Hichilema said this is a disease that the older ones are passing on to children. He noted that in Zambia, there is a strange phenomenon where people think that they could live a good life without working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this country, something very strange happened where people believed they could live with good lives without working&#8230;just sitting&#8230;doing nothing&#8230;and somehow they believed that you can have so much cash by sitting&#8230;how do we have it? They say go and take it from public coffers&#8230; corruption!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The President has since appealed to the children to understand and distinguish between learning the art of work and hard work from child abuse. Zambia hosted this year\u2019s world children\u2019s day in Southern Africa in which three countries \u2013 Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia \u2013 participated. The commemoration, which was held under the theme, \u201ca better future for every child,\u201d will next year be held in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
