Condolences
Colleagues, it is with great difficulty and grief that I convey a message of condolences to Winston Chibwe’s Family. Mr Chibwe is former Secretary General of UPND who stepped aside when his health failed him after the January 2015 elections.
Mr Chibwe took over as SG at a time when everyone did not want to associate themselves with UPND. This the level of commitment and courage Winston exhibited. Winston grew the party from the time he took over as SG to the level we see the UPND today. He served the party selflessly and took on any assignment he saw fit if only to grow the party.
UPND family, let us show up in numbers to support the bereaved family as we always do when faced with a situation that demands solidarity. The selflessness that Winston exhibited when he served the party including the act of paving way when his health failed him should be emulated by all members.
My condolences to the family once more and I pray to God that he will grant you the comfort during this trying time.
Very sad. A gallant son of the Zambian soil has been taken! We mourn with the family. May God give strength to the close family members and the party UPND. MHSRIEP.
@Nostradamus!
where is Nostra???,,, this is your funeral with HH,,, PLEASE suspend all political campaigns,,,, let Edgar WIN unopposed again,,,,
i will come with you to the funeral house,,,Mr Chibwe was a great ,,, RIP!
@Ndobo, indeed this is our funeral, because Ba Chibwe bamudala was a future president. But please I tell you once again that HH is not my friend. HH doen’t drink, I get along with ba chikolwa. At that funeral you will find me where Mulyokela and Edgar will be.
I feel same as the day Ba Sata died, irreplaceable.
Rest in Peace.
I pray to ‘GOD’!!!!!?!!!?
Condolences to the family of the late Winston Chibwe.Mr Chibwe’s immense efforts to strengthen Zambian democracy were recognized by many of us who cherish freedom.
Sad indeed. I wish he could live to see UPND form Govt next year! Anyway, life is a journey that has to end at some stage and sadly Mr. Chibwe’s journey has ended.
Mr Sure Me,

My condolences to the party and the family. May God almighty give the family strength in this time of mourning.

@ Mr sure me
Stop hallucinating that we shall one day see plot 1…..Am reliably informed that the nega nega formular has been swarted and it wont work again.Jan 2015 was our only hope.Now this ECL has taken over my strong holds of NWP and Western prov.After 2016,i am also withdrawing my animals.May be my new friend will take over and distribute free mealie meal after 2016.
Is this the same person who was earlier reported that he has died then the statement changed. Finally isnt it? Anyway the only time UPND will get to plot1 is when the stop hate speeches on ZWD and when HH demeaning Zambians or when when HH dies.
