Acting President Inonge Wina has arrived in Ndola to receive the body of the late Patriotic Front (PF) Member of the Central Committee Willie Nsanda later in the afternoon.
Mrs Wina who touched down at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport at 09:50hours aboard a Zambia Air force plane is companied by Community Development Mother and Child Health Minister Emerine Kabanshi and Deputy Minister in the office of the Vice President Steven Kampyongo.
The Acting President was received by Copperbelt Provincial Minister Mwenya Musenge, Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Howard Sikwela among other Senior Government officials and PF party leaders.
The remains of the late Mr Nsanda who died on Tuesday 24th March 2015 at Millpark Park hospital in South Africa after an illness are expected to be put to rest in Kitwe tomorrow.
President Edgar Lungu has since declared Monday, March 30 a day of national mourning in honour of Mr Nsanda who once served as a deputy minister in the MMD government when he was Member of Parliament for Chimwemwe constituency in Kitwe.
Baya Bwangu to Chililo! Kanshi burial ni mailo.
Nsanda was a right hand man,,, campaign manager for Edgar Lungu, in the elections which Lungu `won`,,,, in Zambian culture Lungu should have cancelled his honeymoon trip to China and stayed ku chililo,, sleeping outside
30 days national morning!!! I never heard of this man before, who is he? and what significant role did he play in the nation or rather world? enlighten me!
Another one that fell from the $tup1d tree. Read again!!! Where does it say 30 days of national mourning? And you are the same chaps who are fond of calling us dull
Not 30 days but 30th marcn (just 1 day)
Just declairing a national morning is miss placed. There was no national morning for Mark Bennett. Why have one for Willie. I don’t understand.
Iwe, how does your head function? Are all your screws well secured or you have 10 loose? National mourning (and not morning) is because he was a deputy minister. Mark Bennet was not.
Good riddance. He shud never have been born. Why didn’t the stolen RDA money save him? Go and meet sata your partner in crime.
Bukala bwawiso. Waba noko ukufita mundofu
May his soul rest in peace . I wish the president was present at his funeral .
@jacobian……r u serious? How could u insult like that……..
Have respect for women.
Grow up, you were borne of a woman who could have miscarried you…..and borne through her pride component.
You chap…..what are you…..
Iwe chi color so you are happy with that rubbish that your fellow caveman is spewing. Wabo kufita iTuya
Jacobian comes from where insults come out naturally. They even insult their parents the same way quite normally.
Why were army officers carrying his coffin? Why were the using ZAF aircraft? Stop abusing national resources as if he had not stolen enough funds from RDA.
Rest in peace Mr. Nsanda. Greatly missed by your family members and other PF members.
I don’t understand why Zambia should choose a retiree for a Vice President. No disrspect to you Boma but its just unacceptable, only pa Zed. Such people should be made advisors if the president or government needs advice from them. It for this reason that I don’t agree with the retirement age as it seems to be selective. Crap!
