11:50am, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: Hi. Am in a bus here at St lukes in Lupane, and people are a bit confused about this poster as they cant read it.
11:59am, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: And someone here appears to be educated enough, she says the marketing personnel puting these posters appear not to know the target market, they simply waste resourses, as no one will read and understand this. Its like employing people to do nothing and pay them. Ngoba this poster serves nothing and no one here
12:36pm, 30 Jun - Bulawayo24 News: Which company is that?
12:39pm, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: This is St Lukes Hospital in Lupane it by the gate there
12:40pm, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: I dont know the company that prints the billboards, but it is mounted at St Lukes Hospital in Lupani
12:42pm, 30 Jun - Bulawayo24 News: Ok I see it says 'Get Circumcised Today' at least they should have writen in NDEBELE as well
12:43pm, 30 Jun - Bulawayo24 News: It should be the ministry of Circumcision ngabona, lol!
12:45pm, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: Yes and it says pinda mu smart, and this is what people think should be put in NDEBELE
12:48pm, 30 Jun - Bulawayo24 News: I think residents should ask the hospital to replace that poster with one that can be understood by the locals as well.
12:53pm, 30 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: Am not show if this is put by the hospital itself or the ministry that is promoting AIDS AWARENESS, and CIRCUMCISION. The people in this province can read Ndebele mostly and a bit of English, so if its a promotional Billboard people feel it must serve its purpose
12:56pm, 30 Jun - Bulawayo24 News: Thank you for the update!
