Gambling has severe social and economic consequences, including:
- Increased poverty and debt
- Family breakdown and social problems
- Corruption and crime
We believe that it is the responsibility of the government to protect its citizens from the harmful effects of gambling.
Therefore, we demand that the government:
1. Repeal the current laws that allow gambling
2. Close all gambling establishments and online platforms
3. Provide support and resources for those affected by gambling addiction

Gambling has brought about laziness amongst youths who are not willing to work and most of them are commiting suicide after failing to pay back the money
Gambling is destroying many lives and families in Zambia, I'm still struggling to overcome it and I wouldn't wish for other people to fall into this terrible vice.
I strongly discourage gambling, it's very uncontrolled here in Zambia and it makes people not focus on legal means of making money by resorting to a faster way which inturns take away all their hard earned resources.
It has contributed to poverty increase, the school going children distracted, mental health in people who gamble is comprised and crime rates has increased
Gambling has destroyed families and thus anything that threatens the institution of family is a threat to us all. As a Christian nation gambling has no place in Zambia. SayNotogambling.
please gambling of all forms must be stopped
Gambling has taught people laziness
