The Chinese national, Wu Shangzai, killed recently at Sinazongwe’s Collum coal mine during workers’ disturbances has been cremated in Choma.
The cremation ceremony was witnessed by scores of Collum miners whose industrial unrest is blamed for the deceased’s death.Wu Shangzai, 50, who died on August 4, 2012 was immolated at Choma’s barn cremation grounds yesterday afternoon after a postmortem was conducted in the morning at Choma general hospital.
His body was transported from Sinazongwe to Choma .The ceremony was witnessed by among others Sinazongwe District Commissioner Dodo Sindanza, his Choma counterpart Golden Nyambe, Chief Sinazongwe, the Chinese community, and police.
Speaking on behalf of Collum Coal mine management, Zou Xia said it was sad that the late Shangzai who came to Zambia in 2009 as a mine engineer was murdered not by fellow miners but villagers from the surrounding community.
Describing the deceased as a skilled person who will be greatly missed at the mine, Dr Xia, was quick to point out that the incidence in which Shangzai died should not in any way affect China’s long standing relationship with Zambia.
Dr Xia assured the Zambian authorities that even after Shangzai painful death, the good relationship between the two countries remains intact.
Dr Xia said Zambia and China were like inseparable brothers whose relationship has stood the test of time.
But is the location for this cremation licensed? It looks to be a site next to a railway line. Was this activity done in a cemetary in Choma? One does not just start burning bodies anywhere and still claim to have rules and regulations in place.
RIP and so sorry to all chinese Nationals in Zambia
Amen to you brother Jonsmit! Sorry indeed and May the Soul of the Departed rest in Eternal Peace and may the murderers be hanged high in Mukobeko Maximum Condom err sorry Prison.
Rest In Eternal Peace brother
father bwalya
Too bad MHSRIP , But of all places in the world why would a mine engineer choose to go to a poor, impoverished, corrupt, disorderly country Zambia???/ I can’t understand it, maybe he was a mine technician not Engineer, graduated from BEIDA, OR TSINGHUA DAXUE??
#6 do the Chinese bury the dead or they will just put fire on you too? That looks extra painful, why these journalists publish such pictures?
There are so many ways to bring about change, history has plenty to share. Bane if you have a grievance,complain smartly, now the anti-hero who killed this man has brought suffering not only to himself but to his family who now have to troop to the cells. Let us learn.
Condolences to the Chinese man’s family. To the alleged murderers, I wonder if the politicians who tunkad you visit you.
Rest In Eternal Peace Wu Shangzai. # 7 Nostradamus, I actually find cremation to be more human than burying. At least it ensures that you are completely gone from this world to ash. Dust to dust or burying worrys me in case they bury you alive! Suffocation is the most painful way to die! Have you ever noticed how eyes dilate and tears fall from one strangled or drowning? Cremation fits in with the departed souls beliefs. I wish I could be cremated when I depart from this world, but my traditionally manic family members would never hear of it.
Interesting to notice how both Nostradamus and MundiaM think of a corpse as feeling pain. MundiaM even thinks it will be ‘him’ being cremated. If your relatives think that they will be cremating you, then they will not allow it.
The caption under the pictures says Wu Shangzai being cremated. This all shows how much wrong view we have about living and dying.
What is being cremated is a body, not a person. A dead body does not feel pain. You should check your view if you start feeling pity for a dead body.
When a zambian truck driver was killed in Congo, we zambian acted as if we were more civilised than congolese! What happened to this chinese man? was he killed by Congolese? A moment of reflection for all
This is not cremation, it is primitive burning of a human body. Not only that, it is a pollution of the air.
It is for this same reason that Zambians are opposed to cremations, because in the end, we will actually only be burning human bodies are though we were roasting a pig. It just makes one’s hears stand up.
This must not be allowed to happen again in Zambia.
Shame and sad.
The shameful and sad part was the killing of a human being.
#GUNDIX, respect other cultures. Probably it was the departed’s wish to be cremated.
Talking of pollution, you will realize just about after you read this sentence that burying dead bodies probably pollutes ground water. Hope this brings you down from your high ground.
So where is our brother going……to hell or heaven kabili these guys dont worship God
I agree with Gundix, this is not cremation but serious burning or roasting (late burning according to my social studies). Cremation is modern and very pollution free with no inconvenience to the people around the crematory.
Eish, if what I see in this picture is creamation, then roasting a pork cacas is even better coz you have it in pieces. Poor Shangzai, Im sure your eyes could be head poping as fire engulfed your skull.
RIP. Come back and take all your friends back to China, for their own safety. We cannot quarantee your safety anymore.
kumboo takuya babwele eeee takuya babwela kumbooooooooo… Ichimbo chamalilo for our brother. RIP!
