Tourism Minister RODNEY SIKUMBA has encouraged traditional leaders to construct museums which will help showcase their unique cultures.
Mr. SIKUMBA says the Museums will provide a platform for cultural exchange between locals and tourists, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation.
He has affirmed the government’s commitment to supporting various traditional ceremonies across the country as they help preserve cultural heritage, traditions and customs.
He says this is because traditional ceremonies play a pivotal role in contributing to Zambia’s history and identity.
