Former Works and Supply Minister Mike Mulongoti says it will be prudent for the government to take the burden associated with the funeral of the bereaved families adding that it is unfortunate that 51 lives were lost at a go.

Mr. Mulongoti has also urged government to thoroughly investigate what led to the tragic accident that claimed the lives of more than 50 people.

And the former cabinet minister has also called on the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) to step up their efforts of ensuring that vehicles are road worthy to avoid future losses of lives.

He says there is need for a complete overhaul of RTSA to ensure that the institution operates efficiently.

Mr. Mulongoti was speaking in an interview with Qfm News.

The Zambia Postal Services Corporation (ZAMPOST) announced yesterday that they would meet the full funeral costs for the 51 victims of the Chibombo Post bus accident.

Anouncing this, Zambia Postal Services Post Master General McPherson Chanda also said that his company and the bereaved families based in Ndola have tentatively agreed to hold a mass burial next week Tuesday.

And the board and management of ZAMPOST have sent a message of condolences to the families of the affected travelers. The company has set up two help lines for victims of the Chibombo accident which left more than 50 people dead.

Affected families could call ZAMPOST on:
0212-613275 or 0979-049793 or 0965-609606.

Meanwhile President Sata has declared national mourning in honor of the 51 deaseased from Monday 11th February through to Wednesday 13th February, during this time all national flags will fly at half mast and all programs of entertainment in nature will be halted.

    • The National Football Team, Kawambwa boys inter alia died in PF’s reign right? The same acts of Satanism being peddled about PF were also said about the MMD, today they are blameless, how short sighted some people could be

    • @ ftj. Boss muli chikopo,your hate for PF will kill you.You even call yourself a Christian,when there’s nothing Christian about you.A true Christian’ll be busy praying for the nation at this trying moment,not you *****s who do and say just the opposite of what the Bible says.

  1. But this man is mad ka. IS he the only Zambian that doesnt know that Zampost has insured its business against such and that it has committed to pay the families based on that info. Useless politician !

    • THE BIBLE SAYS THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.CHRISTIANS CONTINUE CONDERMING WHAT THE SATATANIST ARE DOING.DO NOT LEAVE THIS MATTER TO POLITICIANS WHO ARE IN GREAT NUMBER SATANISTS.HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE TRUST IN A PRESIDENT WHO CLAIMSTO BE A CHRISTIAN WHEN HE IS ALWAYS MOVING WITH SANGOMAS.THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY FOR NEVERS,HH OR MULOGOTI.IT IS FOR US CHRISTIANS .WE HAVE CHRIST…

  2. Mulongoti you had an opportunity to serve as works and supply minister, if only you and MMD had a plan for our country to build dual carriage way and do all the things you have talked about such as overhaul change of RTAS, maybe the loss of 51 lives could have been prevented. Anyway don’t try to sound smart when you had an opportunity to work on things and you did not, people have died now, so lets mourn as a nation and find solutions to these tragedy accidents, time to act is now, Zambia cant wait to be losing people in accidents like this one. We need visionary leaders who care about the welfare of people and plan ahead, not leaders who wait for disaster to happen for them to act, we have had enough.

    • ftj . Somebody just told me your father’s a witch and is one of the witches killing people.So you’re busy accusing the Government because you want to hide your family?No wonder you’ve been behaving like that.But just know this,your days are numbered,and the God you claim to know,if it’s not the devil,will deal with you and your family.

    • GOD IS ALREADY DEALING THE SATANIST SATA.I WORSHIP THE MIGHTY JESUS,WHOM IS BLOOD SHEDDED ON THE CROSS IS ALWAYS SPEAKING AGANIST THE FORCE WORKING AGANIST MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY.I DO NOT NEED SANGOMAS LIKE SATA,I HAVE JESUS.I KNOW THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS.IF YOU NEED THAT I PRAY FOR YOU JUST LEAVE YOUR NUMBER.

    • ftj . Who needs prayers from witches?You hypocrite!You can’t even be ashamed of mentioning the name of Jesus?If Jesus was your Lord,why don’t you do and say what He teaches?Yes,Jesus said,”not all who calls me Lord,Lord shall enter the Kingdom of my Father….” And you’re one of those who use the Name of the Lord in vain,that’s the hallmark of witches.You better do some english lessons,your english is too pathetic.Why don’t you just right in your vernacular language?Kulibonesha ta !

    • THE TRUTH IS THAT SATA NIDOSHI AND NO 2 WAYS ABOUT THIS FACT.INSTEAD OF CALLING ME A WITCH,TELL THE SATANIST TO STOP KILLLING PIPO.IVE WRITTEN MY MIND,WHEATHER I WRITE GOOD ENGLISH OR NOT,THE FACT IS YOU VE UNDERSTOOD MY MESSAGE……..SATA IS THE ONE BEHIND ALL THESE DEAYHS AROUND THE NATION.
