40 GROWING UP
In the Zambian Traditional Society, people developed by being with other people. This was done
through sharing. Sharing was very common and important. For example family members shared
whatever resources they had in the family. Special attention was paid to the orphans and old
people. No one lacked anything someone took care of those in need. Strangers were also taken
care of by the community. At community level, sharing various things such as firewood, grazing
land and fish ponds was common. Animals, such as cattle and goats, were valued as they were
taken to be valuable possessions.
In modern Zambia, the value of sharing is no longer practised for different reason such as:
population increase, inflation, education and people living in big towns. This situation has led to
many street kids and the elderly becoming destitute.
As communities, we need to reconsider the idea of sharing because not all members of the
family may have everything they need. So when we learn to # share freely with members of
the family and other people, it shows that we are concerned about their welfare. Most of all
we need to look after the elderly members of our society.

Sikabbubba was telling his two grant how he enjoyed life with his grandparents. He said, “My
grandchildren you missed a lot, you were born late. Long ago, we used to go and pray at a
Shrine. We could take sacrifices there and ask for help from our ancestors. If we needed rains,
we could ask for it and it could come before we reached out homes. But nowadays, if you pray
for something it does not come there and then.”
The eldest grandchild said, “but you had no religion because you had no books like the Bible
to follow. “The other one said “you did not have good shelters like a church where to pray
from, that was wrong,” Mr Sikabbubba answered them and said my children we had a
religion we believed in. We believed in a Supernatural Being beyond human powers. For sure,
we never had a written scripture like you have the Bible, but we were told stories by our
grandparents (fore fathers) which were true from generation to generation. We were very
comfortable with thereof nature around us. We saw and felt the power of the Supernatural
Being that was all powerful and might, that is why we could go to the mountain or under the
tree to worship and offer our sacrifices there.
Above all the Bible and specific places of worship for us were not important. There was
nothing wrong with our worship because we were given what we asked for from our
ancestors. “
