  1. Sad…i remember talking to her at the 2015 HSE chamber of mines conference where i presented a paper on “Gravimetric Analysis” , she was very polite. Huge loss indeed

  2. I have no doubt that she was a Prince of the Kingdom of Swaziland. She fitted in the Zambian society so well that you could not tell her origin. We shall indeed miss her and her services to humanity. MHSRIEP.

    It is always sad to lose a member of the mining fraternity. Having spent 16 years in Zambia, at Luanshya, Nampundwe and Chililabombwe. It is like losing a family member. My sincere condolences to the family. May they find strength to pull through this sad period.
    Ken.

  10. She was born in 1962 therefore she was only 54; not old at all. What do you mean in the picture she looks young? Do the maths… YABA

  11. A very wonderful person, I worked at Lion of Africa Insurance Company under her leadership, a very person she was.

  12. She was my CEO at Zambezi Airlines, really selfless with a solid business acumen. She took personal interest in her mentee’s, and really ensured that she gave support for their development. I remember my first meeting with her when she joked with me and boosted my confidence as we faced a daunting task that lay ahead.

    The last i spoke to her was almost a year ago, when i asked her to write me a recommendation for my current job role; how i wish i had a chance to say bye.

    May God be good to her family as she rests in eternal peace.
