Former Lusaka Provincial Minister Charles Shawa has died
Mr. Shawa who was also Kanakantapa resident passed at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) early on Saturday night.
Mr. Shawa served as Minister in the MMD Government of President Levy Mwanawasa and President Rupiah Banda.
He also served as HeadTeacher at Munali Secondary School before launching a political career.
He was also a Member of Parliament for Luangwa constituency at the time.
The funeral is at his farm in Kanakantapa, Chongwe.
Obesity is linked to increased risk of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions.
True but this is not the right forum, bro.
just the body can tell…obesity at its pick
Was also a father & grandfather. It’s an achievement, better title than minister.
Zambian men are very unhealthy. they are all overweight and drink recklessly. Lifespan 45!
The best human comment I have ever seen from from Nostradamus. It shows that people can move away from politics and shoe a human face. Congrats and for the first time I agree with you.
Ati zambian men are unhealthy?
What about the women?
You should see the tummies!
Eish!
Rest in Peace.
What did he die off?
Go well my friend. I remember the good days we used to have at Lusaka Hotel. Your electrifying performances accompanied by your two daughters. MYSRIP.
Uhmmmm! two daughters?
Too much mafuta!!! Zambians think to be fat like pigs is prestigious kansi nima tenda yaka yaka. For instance, High BP, Obesity, Stroke, CVA are all linked to high fat deposits. My fellow Zambians please we should be exercising regularly.
RIP though!
@Sipinya Samulena, think big. Some people are naturally fat. It was a case with Mr. Shawa. He doesn’t deserve this kind of comments.
Not true, non is naturally fat. You get fat by over indulging and glutinous eating.
Mhsrip, shawa was a teacher at what we used to call Libs, libala boys in those days, I think he was head teacher at libala before he went to munali boys. He taught music as well and featured alot on znbc’s folk music. He was a very funny man, great men….
Go well my former Head teacher at Luangwa Boys, MYSRIEP…
Riminds me Lbs hall assembly music. ‘Akazi a malume amanidabwisa.’ RIP.
Read reminds above. Apology.
May he rest in peace. Majority of Americans are obese and unhealthy.
Is this the same man who used to appear on TVZ folk music? Go well friend.
My Headboy at Chadiza secondary school. MHSRIP
Apunzisi basu pa Libs. He strung his guitar when Mr Nchimunya and Mr Zimba was our head teachers with Victor Nyasulu and Mwavipeni as our gead boys,smart and loving all the Libala Boys.
@Phillip, collection: Himuya, not Nchimunya. Victor Mwavipeni Nyasulu one person not two.
RIP akhulu
He hails from Nyungwa Village (Mtowe sub Chief – Molomo wa inja or Mulunuzana) in Inkosi ya ma Nkosi kraal. A good Man indeed although lost in city life .Ordinarily, he should have been buried at Kombe graveyard.
Msyani
Nataizya sikulu it’s been long we left Libs.
Meant Makungu
He changed the bad history of Luangwa Boys (LUBO) when he became Headteacher. He came from Libala Secondary as class teacher to Head LUBO after a terrible riot from pupils in 1995. Very calm and seasoned administrator. I know how Luangwa Nsengaluzis and Chikunda people loved him! I will miss him personally… Go well my Headteacher!! Ex-LUBO Science teacher… Condolences to the Shawa family…Especially, our loving mother and the children….
You are right sir. He changed the face of LUBOS in the short time he served as headteacher. It is sad that he has passed on when last month we put to rest a man who was also his deputy – Mr. Chimba. I will always cherish the role he played in my life. Go well Chief Shawa as we fondly referred to him
Condolences to the family.
My heartfelt condolences

RIP AShawa. You made us all proud by carrying on with ALazarous Tembo’s rich fork lore, and you indeed sounded every bit like him in the following hit song:
Nenze kuti kano munisunge, atata
koma alume bangu nimwe akapondo
Amai akupasani ulemu
ati ndinu atate wanga inu
Poti tate wanga ana mwalila
sono ndinu atate wanga inu
RIP
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE UNCLE SHAWA
