Too bad … death will never stop to be our enemy …. Only God knows
MHSRIP. Why is it that chiefs are dying in numbers nowadays?
In death you rest your royal Highness. You are better than Chitimukulu the pauper
Too Bad.No one will ever be used to such kind of a thing (Death).Actually thats where All of us are Heading Too.MHSRIEP.
MHSRIP. Why was the chief not taken to a better hospital for medical attention?
Rest in peace chief. Better than ka Chitimukulu by far.
Its a pity our chief was not take to Morningside! Mind you, Minister of Health: Kapembwa SIMBAO said the hospitals in Zambia were upgraded! However, its always sad to lose a loved on!
Mwangana Kalunga moyo wenu ukale mu kuunda. ( Chief Kalunga may your soul rest in peace ) Why is it that some chiefs are taken for proper medical attention outside Zambia yet others die in poor local hospitals ? Please let us be fare to all chiefs by coming up with a uniform policy.
People from Northwestern province you deserve to have your chiefs treated like animals be cause you don’t think like others from other provinces where attention is given(Hindukenu mangana mutambukile hamwe navakwenu kechi kupwanga nakuvyotela kaha MMD yamavokovoko talenu Banda omu namilingi mwomwo mwahulama chikuma tonenu.)
For along time I have never heard that a Chief from N/Western has been evacuated for specialised treatment abroad. Chief Kalunga has been ill for a long time yet we have MPs like Mukuma, Kalenga, Konga etc. The only Chief who got evacuated was Kapijimpanga courtesy of Kansashi Mine. Its the type of initial or fear on the part of our politicians. Their mouths are sealed with seal tape or welded or stitched. May the soul of our Royal Highness Chief Kalunga RIP.
