Posted 10th July 2009

Zambia’s reggae ambassador Maiko Zulu yesterday gave lessons on the history of Reggae to grade 8 pupils at the SOS Children’s Village in Lusaka.

Maiko became the first artiste to be accorded the hourner of teaching Reggae as part of the school’s curriculum.

Maiko took time to tour the school before commencing the 2-hour lesson, which left the pupils wanting more of the “Ganja Convict”.

SOS Children’s Village School is situated a few kilometres north of Lusaka and has over 1000 mainly vulnerable pupils coming from the surrounding areas.

And speaking to a Muvi TV reporter after the session, Maiko said he was deeply humbled by the gesture accorded to him by the school administration. Several pupils, teachers and members of staff took turns to get pictures with Maiko, who was accompanied by female celebrity and wife Sista D. The duo have in the past toured various schools and youth centres in a bid to promote children’s rights in Zambia.
