Zambia varsity sorry for 'half-naked' poster

The University of Zambia has apologised to its female students for a poster urging them to stop visiting the library "half-naked" - because it distracts male counterparts.

The notice had divided opinion among both male and female students, with an umbrella body of Zambia’s civil society organisations condemning it.

Library users

The offending poster has since been removed.

Ms Christine Kanyengo, the university’s librarian, said in a notice: "We would like to unreservedly apologise to our female library users for any offence caused."
