Paramount Chief Chitimukulu hospitalised

Share

Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba speaking people in northern province, who was recently evacuated to South Africa for specialist treatment after illness, is recovering well.

Northern Province Minister Charles Shawa confirmed the development to ZANIS in Kasama yesterday. Mr. Shawa said he had spoken to Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Simon Miti, who assured him that the Paramount Chief’s health has tremendously improved from the time he was evacuated to South Africa.

The Minister has since wished Paramount Chief Chitimukulu a quick a recovery. He further said Government was looking forward to the return of the Paramount Chief in good health so that his royal highness could contribute to national development.

The current Paramount Chief Chitimukulu is the 37 th in the family tree of the chieftainship.

  1. But then, why tell us now when you didnt bother to inform us of his evacuation? Ndiye vamene nikana ine. Ngati ndimwe, kapena anamwalila kudala. We know these things. Mwamba Luchembe told us.

  2. #4 Ba pastor, ninshi? Twali kumanapo? Am just expressoing an opinion. Are you not aware that you Bembas dont announce the true date of your paramount chief’s death? Need educating? Contact my friend, Baby C.

  3. TRUE ,NOT ONLY BEMBAS, THIS IS COMMON AMONG ALOT OF TRIBES .PEOPLE ARE TOLD OF THE DEATH OF A CHIEF AFTER THEY VE DONE THE RITUALS.IF IT WAS IN PASSED THEY NEVER USED TO SAY POINT BLANK THAT A CHIEF HAS DIED INSTEAD THEY USED TO SAY A DROM HAS BROKEN.SAD GET WELL SOON CHIEF

  4. #6 Ba Moze

    I need education. Please enlighten me on the issue of announcing the death of the Chitimukulu. Rather than announce the true date of the paramount chief’s death, what do they do?

  5. YANGU WHAT’S HIS PROBLEM? WISHING HIM A QUICK RECOVERY HOPEFULLY HE IS BORN AGAIN HELL IS REAL.BALESA FYE TO BE WITH HIM

  6. Why cant these Bemba chiefs be as strong as Mpezeni. We never hear of Mpezenii ati lelo he has been flown kuti nakuti.
    He is always fit and advising his people to vote for akhulu mpuno.

  7. #I8 Bwalya, if it was not necessary for us to know the nature of the illness, why bother tell us in the first place? Am Ngoni but he is equally my chief, and so i have the right to know. We dont want to keep speculating like what happened over LPM.

  8. when are we going to stop this evacuation business? please GRZ lets have our own specialised hospital/clinic within zed. we are fed of seeing people leaving zed kicking and coming back as cargo!!!!!

  9. #17 Golyati. The difference is that Ka Mpezeni (your chief) started taking free ARVs a long time ago while mwinelubemba (my chief) was busy taking roots

  10. He should have been admitted to UTH.With the power cuts he would have been erased from this earth…let alone charge his Nokia phone..

  11. I am against evacuations of chiefs (especially Bemba chiefs)
    to all sorts of clinics outside the country. Our Chief mpezeni only travels outside the country to visit his fellow statesmen and not on evacuation. When he has a headache(once every five years)his just goes to the clinic kwa vuze to get panadol.

  12. Mwebene kalungu na menshi twamichelela bamunshifukatilwa awe nakabili twamibikafye mu maboko yamwine katula wesu.
    I wish the Paramount Chief a quick recovery so he can work with Shawa and see how they can develop the rural areas which are the strong hold of RB and MMD.

  13. Damn! i wish it was that child molester from eastern province ka chief mpezeni. kakonda sex maningi ka chief kaja elo na baiche zoona.

  14. Iwe ka #28 Ghostrider, uzipasa ulemu machief babanzako ayi. have manners boyi. You mean you, you dont like sex? Awe, ichindike boyi. Tikalipe lomba [-x

  15. We the people of eastern province suffer from respectable illness such diabetes,Highblood pressure, strokes,lukeamia,obesity and brain tumour.

    But the Bemba speaking people suffer from diseases like scabbies(mpele), sti(tuswende), blindness,rickets,malnutrition, cholera, epilepsy(chipumputu),madness(ukupukuta)and kleptomania(ubupupu).

  16. Seriously may the chief recover soonest. we want him to experience the Global financial crunch also. Apapene bamipela kamotoka mwalwala? Good evening all. God Bless :-h

  17. Golyati na ba Moze mwilifulungana. Ndimwe Mfwiti. Unbewitch our King.
    Pantu ninshi ba Mpezeni bazankala mu danger zone. We shall use the nails of a monkey to pin him down. Tulowoleleni please. Mwaba imyona.

  18. Shikulu, Kalombo! We Mwine Lubemba, We walishishe umunsoli ba Ngoni bawa! We wateswile Eastern province yonse yatota… Kanabesa lekeni ubuloshi bwa Mpesseni bupite ku ntambalilo. Taaaaaaaaaaaa nasalipa poleni!

    Get well soon. The voodoo will return to Eastern province. You only need to whistle and all Easterners and Malawians will collapse. I salute you… all shall be well.

    Bakwindi rats, mice rodents, moles. Do not chew our Kings toes so soon. [-(

  19. Ati chief Mpezeni would like to inherit King Chitimukulu’s car before he dies!

    RB thank you for evacuating my King to SA. Hope te strategy ati kafwile far away. Munkale ready to mourn us ka.

  20. Blimey! Even chiefs are evacuated to SA. I am going to become one!

    Ho Ho Ho.

    UTH is for the poor.

    Zambia chalo cesu!

  21. Our kings in Lubemba come from one village called Chanda Mukulu. They are called the children of Chanda Mukulu. What is happening is that ba Ba Mwana Chanda Mukulu are sending misiles aginst each other.

    May be they can be hired by Prince Charles to send misiles against his mother who is not vacating the throne any time soon.

  22. UMUSHIKAKULO WAPA MONDO – a psalm in honour of Chilufya Mulenga – Umuluba wa Bubili (Official Title)

    Nkole wa mapembwe umfwe milandu
    Chiti Chiti chamutunga mulinso
    Chamulenga umona ukupompa
    Ukwenda Kushintuka menso mumbali
    Panshi apa pali imikuba yatata umwanda

  23. Bring him back and admit him at UTH block D.May be they will repair the generators.Can someone tell me;does plot one experience these power cuts.If I was to choose which institution to load shed, I would propose plot one and spare UTH let alone the ventilators.

  24. PRINCE OF ZAMUNDA DO YOU HAVE VERBAL DIARRHOEA,SOMETIMES WHEN YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ITS WISE TO ZIP UP YOUR MONTH ,FREE ADVISE FOR YOU ,NEXT TIME DONT COMMMENT WITH INSULTS WE DONT WANT TO BE CORRUPTED BY YOUR EVIL WORDS AND THOUGHTS.

  25. Rupiah Banda who is supposed to be the president of Zambia is suffering from sleeping sickness which he contracted on his visit to Petauke…Mwe Lesa twafweni…

  26. No: 33 -Iwe chi Golyati….uyi chindike…kalye fye mbeba and SHUT UP if you have nothing sensible to say 😮 Atase….vimbovu…you pitiful tribalist.[-x

  27. Kuku mulopwe mwebene lubemba,mwe cikonkolo musukuswa mumabumba,mukokota nsono na menshi.Niwe fye weka,imfumu yasha mfumu pano chalo,aba bonse abashala ni ba kabilo bobe.I pray that the Hand of our will touch in a most special way.Get well soon.

  28. Ba chief Ukutonta sana bagelo, be like Mpezeni, kalilila but the chap is very strong.Mulelya na macondom bamwine lubemba twapatata, that is if you have not died. because this is how it was napali Levy, they lied to us kanshi alivana kale.

  29. #30 Ba Moze, niza kapasa ulemu ka chief kako kakaleka ku panga ma 12/13 year old girls ma busy! Why sould i respect a man that does not respect our children. Ba Moze wait until he abuses your duaghter then say that crap you have said above. Olo ukalipe chitusha uza limba!
    ofcourse nikonda sex but with grown lovely women and not na bafana, kapena ukonda bafana naiwe???? Tiwuze sonny!

  30. Iwe GOLYATI#25 wait until you contract mouth and foot disease from your cows if the kama same vuze clinic will treat you.We shall evacuate you to Kasama General Hospital for better treatment.
    Get well soon our Chief.

  31. You Bemba what you refer to as dozing of sleeping sickness for Akhulu Mpuno is actuallu known as meditation. Us easterners when reach a ripe old age, we go into self actaulization. It is the state where we now start having younger horizontal refreshments and during church services or long speeches we close our eyes in meditation.

    Meditation is something eastern you Bembas cant understand it.

  33. When Inkosi yama Nkosi(King of kings) Mpezeni dies, he is wrapped in freshly slayed cattle hides. After two days of mourning he is buried in a sitting position with a 21 spear salute with all military honours.

    Now when Chitimukulu dies, first they had that he has died, then for one full year they keep annointing his body with cowpeas soup(relish) then finally he is buried at a secret location. Thats while they always suspect foul play because they is lack of transperency.

  34. Imwe ma Easterners,[-xpasopo! If anything happens to our King we know who has done it.

    Ka Golyati #66 stop playing around with our sacred cowpea ancient ritual. We have remained true to our ancestors… embalming with cowpeas. Talk of being original. Imwe 21 gun salute na ma blanks is very foreign. Go back to our roots. Buthelezi and Shaka Zulu.
