    • Come on, this man has never done anything wrong to you. It is really sad that he has died, his family is bereaved. Everyone has got the right to seek treatment when they are not well. Let’s be sober! This man was not even a deputy minister and was satisfied with just representing his people!

    • @Nubian, you know some of us we do whatever it takes to die. We are not cheap or useless just to late death enjoy us. If you think you are not useful, then just die without trying even cheap places like India. Me I will even try Jesus to save me, I will not give up again.

  1. Calm down lord voldemort @1.1.

    Late Matafwali was too sick to recover even if PF sent him any where on earth. The principle to learn is, what morality is there about ordinary Zambians who die needlessly, for lack of foresight by PF govt to provide effective health institutions in Zambia for all Zambians.
    Death occurs to anyone poor, rich, thief, clergy, leaders and famous.
    Inonge should not take pleasure in sending her fellow leaders abroad for treatment, aninsult to majority who die at home. KK the founding father of Zambia had his medical check up at UTH. What is so spercial with PF members to always go abroad seeking medicals and come back in casckets.
