He has fought the good fight; It is for people like him, that we meek Zedians have been able to find some political courage, as such we should reflect & learn that fighting for our common cause, is a personal duty which we shouldn’t take lightly!
Condolences to the entire family and my friend Elias. May The Soul Of Our Father Rest In Peace.
Sincerest condolences to the Chipimo family but with the assurance that their father rests in peace and all will be well.

Senior Counsel, my sincere condolences. Your dad was courageous in his dogged determination to have democracy restored to Zambia.
He goes with a positive legacy and his articulate propounding of ideas finds its expression in you Counsel.
Take heart and all the best in 2016; you are the future of fierce Presidential competition.

Mr. Chipimo Sr had a gift of the garb. I used to be glued to the radio listening to him denouncing KK’s lunatic one party ‘participatory democracy’, mesmerised by his masterly command of the English language. What a loss! Condolences to the family.
Gone to the almighty God’s shelter where all the departed rests. RIP great warrior.
Condolences to the Chipimos.

Condolences to the Chipimo family. Sadly more money has again been wasted in South Africa. I do’t know why we Zambians can’t learn that South Africa is not heaven. When are we gonna have our leaders dying within Zambia? I wish KK was still in power because he is the only one who has shown pride in our Zambian hospital system.
Very insensitive word to use “wasted”.
Sad for the chipimo family. We pray for the striegth of God during this period.
Condolences to the Chipimo family, may they find peace and comfort in God Almightyat this time who can shoulder our weakest moments.
