The body of the late Patriotic Front (PF) member of the Central Committee Willie Nsanda arrives in the country on Sunday, 29th March.

Mr Nsanda died at Millpark hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa yesterday after an illness.

ZANIS reports that PF Secretary General Davies Chama has announced in a statement from Pretoria that the remains of Mr Nsanda will be flown from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Ndola before being transported to Kitwe by road.

The body will depart Johannesburg on a South African Airways Flight at 10:40 hours and is expected to arrive in the country at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola at 12:20 hours.

Mourners have been advised not to travel to Lusaka as the body will be transported directly to the Copperbelt.

Mr Chama disclosed that that Zambian High Commission in South Africa has organized a requiem Mass for the late Mr Nsanda which will be held at 13:00hours on Friday, 27th march, 2015 at Thom Knight building in Johannesburg.

The late Mr. Nsanda’s Father, PF member of the Central Committee Samuel Mukupa and family members are also in South Africa and will accompany the body back to Zambia.

This is according to a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today by Patriotic Front Secretary General Davies Mwila in Pretoria.

  1. My condolences to the the family and friends. Its actually very painful to loose a beloved in death because we will not only miss them, but those close family member, relatives as well as workers will be affected directly. Yes dependants will miss him. He was so dear and a bread winner. So sorry…. Death is painful. It is not God’s will that people should be dying. These are results or consenquences of sin from Adam. So whether one serves the true God or not,death is our enemy.

  2. With all the money that he amassed while being a lone board member and later on Board Chairman I wish he can RISE IF POSSIBLE (RIP)

    • Mr Chanda in bemba we say, Icili pamubiyo ecili napaliwe.It seems boss u r celebrating that Hon. Nsanda is no more. Its not in our calture especially among Bembas to laugh at the dead or mock them, how many rich pipo have died nd not risen. Do not grot when ur friend or enemy is in pain, coz i the Lord sees everything, meaning that God can remove the pain that the Nsandas family is goin thru and put it on U.. Think b 4 u do a thing. Hon Nsanda may had flaws but it is not u to judge.

  3. In satirical fashion we have left a lot of ghosts in that Milpark hospital to-date. It is time we really stepped up to improve our health systems and attract our best brains back home. This will have the knock-on effect of spreading some of that medical TLC to the least of our brothers and sisters who have no chance on this elite queue of evacuation. Let’s keep our ghosts here where they belong. My sincere condolences to the family of Willie Nsanda. MHSRIP

  4. Remembering Willie Nsanda

    MHSRIP. One day he was selling his eggs at chisokone market to marketeers and one woman said: iyee ba Nsanda utumani ubunono mwaleta lelo! He looked at her and said: Fumeni apa imwe ba mayo bushe nine watombele nkoko! I will always remember him for such

  5. One part of his life history which has not been mentioned is that time when he was UTTA boss and throwing his weight around KMB. The came to an end when FTJ liberalized the transport business.
