Betty Kaunda’s condition remains critical-Mbangweta

Share

UTH Public Relations Manager, Pauline Mbangweta said yesterday that the condition of the former First Lady Mama Betty Kaunda who is admitted in the Intensive Care Unity (ICU) has remained critical.

Mama Betty Kaunda was admitted to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH)’s intensive care unit last week on Tuesday for generalized chest pains.

And the condition of the two Patriotic Front Members of Parliament (MP) who were admitted yesterday to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) have improved but are still in hospital.

Ms Mbangweta said that the condition of the two parliamentarians have improved and are now admitted in high cost ward.

Ms. Jean Kapata of Mandevu and her Munali counterpart Mumbi Phiri were admitted to UTH Saturday.

The MPs were arrested on Friday together with seven others for honking and have since been charged for the conduct and are likely to appear in court soon.

  1. Mama Betty is in my prayers.

    Is there any reason why the two MPs had to be admitted to hospital after being arrested. Did the Police Force batter them?

  2. Ba LT, this business of ‘copy and paste’ will lead you into problems. The honking thing and being admitted into hospital is not making any sense at all!

  3. This is tragic, can the police explain the circumstances under which these MPs, who were healthy and fit when arested, ended up being hospitalised? Banda and his silly followers are playing with fire!

  4. Get well soon Mama Betty Kaunda. As for 2 PF Mps I also wish them well and once they get discharged they should go to parliament and lobby more funding to improve ZP facitities such as cells and i am sure the rise in their BP was a result of the terrible cell conditions they found themselves in. No ventilation, no light plus heat and the thought of spending weekend in the jukes. Mame BP pu up.

  5. For sure she still stands to be the best ever first lady the country has had,decent,obedient,everythin I compare her with the women of Proverbs 31
    Quick recovery Mama We love you may God bless you

  6. It pays to be a good person. If humanity is happy with you surely God will be too. May the almight God bless our mother Mama Betty.

  7. before you die mama betty please tell us who is the father of those twins, please tell us why at the same time simon kapwepwe was called bashi-mpundu…. please clear the air, is it true that there was something…

  8. #22 Chengelo alumni. That’s not polite or kind. Please respect OUR FIRST LADY. If you start digging around you many not be so sure about your own geneology. Better keep quite and believe all your grandma told you. Not all of it may be true. LOL.

    Mama Betty, you are the real First lady. the rest are pretenders to the throne. They ahve been quite disgraceful. The Lord heal you.

  9. #3, you’re so right. I midway through reading the story, I had to hit the brakes and wonder about the same. All the same, we get what our beloved LT “editors” are trying to put accross.

    #22 you had me laughing, that was funny. But let ba Kapwepwe R.I.P please. Back to the subject, wishing you a quick recovery MAMA KAUNDA…the true queen and first lady ZAMBIA. Praying for you mama!

  10. Mama Betty you are indeed a woman to learn from. Hope the other first ladies could asked from you what it takes to be wife of the president of the republic, they would make better first ladies.
    get well soon mama we are praying for you dear.

  11. Get well soon Mama Betty…you were the best first lady this Zambia ever had…Even when your husband was arrested by the whites you started selling charcoal to support the family.

  12. #29, they did not fly her to South for two reason am sure, 1)they are not in support of the MMD and second and biggest reason is that Kaunda still believes in UTH, he is proud of what he and his colleagues built. He is a leader who believes in sharing with his countrymen. KK still does his medical at UTH, even when he was president, not a day do i remember hearing the new medical term ( or is it treatment) ” evacuated to South Africa” This term is now being taught at rigeway campus as a cure for knee problems and chilubas heart diseases!

  13. #30 i agree with you. Even if Teta went to South he still died. When its your time its your time.

    Get well soon best first lady mama Betty, you are a real wife, Kaunda realy had a choice not these eat monies.

  14. You are a Redgent, The Best ever Fisrt Lady and Last we shall ever have. A woman with sence of Humour, Kidness, Supportive, I can go on and on, You are Just SPECIAL. GET WELL SOON MAMA BETTY. ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU MEAN TO THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE> BLESS YOU.

  15. Youa are the First of the First Ladies in Zambeziland. Your quiet influential nature is a gift to our nation. Every woman dresed in a decent Chitenge attire confirms your dignity. You are in my prayers. Mama Betty, get well soon. Would like to hear Shikulu play his guitar for your next birthday. :-\”:-\”:-\”

  16. We’re a group of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community. Your web site provided us with helpful info to paintings on. You’ve performed a formidable activity and our entire group will be thankful to you.
