ZAMBIAN Film Maker Wilcliff Mwamba has responded to criticism from social media users following comments he made in relation to Emmanuella, which triggered widespread backlash online.
The controversy arose after Mwamba posed a question on social media, which some users interpreted as inappropriate. The post quickly attracted criticism, with several users condemning his remarks, while others accused him of crossing ethical boundaries.
In his response, Mwamba explained that his comments were prompted by a video he watched on YouTube in which allegations were made against Mark Angel.
He maintained that his intention was not to suggest any inappropriate interest in the child but to seek clarity on the claims raised in the video.
Mwamba expressed concern over what he described as a lack of reading and comprehension culture among some social media users, stating that many rushed to comment without fully understanding his post.
He also condemned the abuse directed at him, saying the attacks were emotionally distressing and led him to tears.
He further warned that individuals who insulted or defamed him online could face legal consequences, citing existing cyber laws, and cautioned against continued harassment.
The incident has fueled renewed debate on responsible online engagement, cyberbullying, and the interpretation of sensitive topics on social media platforms.
