Rest in eternal peace Br Mabila and Br Stanley. You have run your race, you have fought a good fight.
Condolences to the Franciscan Fathers, to Mabila Augustine Mutale’s family and Stanley Mukuka’s family.
condolences to the Catholic mission and to relatives of the deceased. For the car to overtun like that speed was a contributing factor. Alchohol could have played a part too knowing that ba Katotika balitemwa tubwala. Zambians should learn to observe speed limit which we don’t have marked on the roads. Ou roads are so bad that drivers should not gamble their lives by speeding.
Rest in peace
May their souls rest in peace,so sad.
LT they are not Priests, they are Seminarians MTSRIP
Our Brothers will always be remembred in the Lord. Riposino In Pace.

@deja vu LT is right to call them student Catholic priests because a seminarian is one studying to be a priest…. though we should rightly refer to them as friars or brothers that is what order they belonged to and still belong to refers to them…. Dont pretend to know wen u dont…

we can always speculate concerning our dear brothers death, Augustine and Stainly. however know that for some of us who were close to them it is a funeral that will never ever end. Its very painfull.
