Chapter closed for one blessed nonagenarian. @11 children, 22 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He ran his race. R.I.E.P. Shikulu bantu!
He was 90, in simple English – he was old
RIP but stop with the nonsensical tears all over the place.
My father was a mere 60 when he passed on.
Celebrate his life not showing faces like you seen a ghost
Thanks

Mushota, sorry your father left at 60 years, before retirement age. Was he lazy? How of you, just you alone as a child.
Please guys work-out, make love, bare more than 10 children, eat healthy, enjoy life. Minimum dying age should be 80. Not mere 60 years, leaving children with no morals.
@Mushota I was going to make a comment but to hear your father died at 60 old only sure! @Nostradamus ouchi! Mushota is an only child and imagine the father passed on without seeing any grandchildren!
However, Mutati’s family have done relatively well unlike Mushota who relies on Nick for support!
Hook so Sikazwe is minister of both presidential affairs?
Could that unfinished house be the home of the late old man? I wouldn’t be surprised to be told that Mutati was waiting for the IMF loan to finish it up!
What is all that nonsense of designer sunglasses by silly spouses. Mourn with dignity. This was not a fashion parade. We know you are chewing but don’t shove it in our faces!!
Am not an affiliate so it means death differs..I lost my father at a tender age Mutati and your fellow compatriots stop that nonsense of comforting yourselves in disguise you all old Brian Mundubile a myopic,Freedom Sikazwe a dreamer and Felix Mutati a maniacmaniac.
When did cultural values get overtaken by Christian values?
People, we had values before the dawn of Christianity around 325 AD!
Wake up!
Bushe uku takwaba Airport? That is why by Flying Rat tabaililleko?
I see a lot of military staff, the one’s carrying the coffin…..did Mr Mutati Snr also hold a high position in the Govt, if not why use Govt resources because at the end of the day those officers will be paid. This should not be happening. This is abuse of Govt resources and should not be allowed or tolerated.
I agree with you, this wanton waste of resources has to stop.
