Youth Alive Zambia stages anti-AIDS concert
By ABEL MBOOZI
ATTENDANCE to last weekend’s Youths Alive Zambia (YAZ) concert at Lusaka showgrounds was overwhelming in honour of abstinence as the only cure for AIDS.
School pupils attended the music concert whose theme was ‘Abstinence a life-time investment’.
Perhaps the climax of the concert was when B-sharp’s three dread-locked ladies clad in their blue and white jean trousers and t-shirts took to the floor with their famous ‘Chimasomaso’ song.
However, the concert turned nasty afterwards when unruly youths took to the stage and drowned a local band with ensuing confusion.
Children wailed as they got trampled on while organisers threatened to end the concert prematurely.
Empty bottles of beer and other drinks were thrown in the air while a young lady had her skirt ripped-off as she tried to pull herself out of the jam-packed audience.
The police, however, with the help of the YAZ ushers tried to instill order to make the Black Muntu continue with the show.
The band did one more number before the Sakala Brothers took to the floor with their famous ‘Sandra’ song sending the fans into wild excitement.
