Opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema’s personal bodyguard Spearman Mumbuluma has been found dead at his house.
The late Mumbuluma was found dead in unclear circumstances.
Mr Hichilema has since described Mr Mumbuluma as a trusted friend.
“This is a very difficult time for me personally as I have lost one of my very close and personal friends in Mumbuluma,” Mr Hichilema said.
“To his family, all I can say is heartfelt condolences from Mutinta and myself and the wider UPND family. Let us hold hands and pray for the family of Mumbuluma and lets reach out to them in this difficult time. Rest in peace my brother and protector.”
And UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba also expressed sadness at the death of Mr Mumbuluma.
“With deepest sympathy my wife, family and I send my condolences to President HH, the UPND and indeed the Mumbuluma family on the passing of Mr Mumbuluma, our President’s security man,” Mr Mwamba said.
“Mr Mumbuluma was indeed a wonderful and alert part of the security detail, quiet and composed at all times and only last week we had a wonderful time together in Kasama.”
He added, “We will continue the struggle but it would have been fitting if the departed was part of our imminent success. We will always have fond memories and this loss is quite devastating.”

It might be the Russians? (or in the Zambian case , the Chinese)
This carnage has been going on for far too long. When are we going to wake-up?
Ni HBP MU BOYIZI UYU? Or ni heart attack. MHSRIP
Condolences to the family. It must have been BP the man wasn’t resting protecting selfish leaders. Innocent people are losing their lives. The way this man has died, that’s the way UPND will die. Shame on you.
MHSRIP. Condolences to the family and upnd
Not Mr. Mumbuluma please….
The peace talks are now back to shelves again.
MHSRIP; Hope it’s not foul Play because that will be Beyond our Zambians Values. We can be in Different Parties but killing each other is not our Thing. Police, step up and show us you are professional for once.
“Spearman” i like the name..i had a friend at school called “Gunman”
MHSRP
MHSRIP. So many people around and close to HH have died misteriously over the years. The reaction by Hh as reported above sounds simplistic …. How many more shall die?
HH probably wore out the man with fake promises of being chief bodyguard at state house! RIP.
First suspect is double h. A statement must be collected from him. Double H let God protect you. Don’t put your hope in a person.
RIP Mr. Mumbuluma.
MHSRIP … Condolences to his family
What is the meaning of “Mumbuluma’?
Mwayamba kudwana…
You mean PF start Zimbabwe tricks?
What did he die off? I ask cos sooner other than later, the same pipo will be saying the departed was poisoned, bewitched etc., etc.
True even suspecting that he could have become a mole.
Sad!!!!… Chalabija bana akwesu. RIP and condolences
Let us hope the death is not thru foul play or politically motivated coz that can raise unwelcome political temperatures.
MHSRIP. We can’t be partizan on this as a life has been lost and a family has lost a father, son, brother …
MHRIP
But does he have to bring in politics. And struggle is referring to? As a multiparty democracy people must simply lobby for votes without labeling the ruling party like foreign occupiers. I can bloodshed if HH unfortunately became president because he looks at those at variance with him as enemies who must be eliminated. Sorry to the family for the untimely death of their dear beloved.
Condolences to the family! May they receive comfort from God for He alone is the God of all comfort.
Death in unexplained circumstances? could it be that he had High Blood Pressure? Was he diabetic?
The doctors will be able to tell you the cause.
The sensible thing to post at this time is sincere condolences, the rest of the mocking posts ni vaupuba chabe
Read what HH has said. To me fyabupuba. He’s talking about a struggle, struggle against who? He’s talking about eminent victory, what’s this victory? He should have ended at expressing Condolences.
Condolences
It happens too bad innocent people going leaving trouble makers
This hh should explain this. Otherwise mukobeko again. This time should know they sentence to hanging!!!
I feel bad to loose a life that can contribute to the growth of our economy.may our might God bless the family he has left.mhrp. By the way where is Keith?
Mwine wake saziba navamene munayambana
Incomplete reporting.
Any statement from ZP?
Poisoned by UPND.
police take charge I smell something fishie how can someone know nothing about his death , was he staying alone did he complain of anything to his closiest friends
I feel sorry for his family who have been left when they needed him most. If only we new when death was going to visit us, it would not have been termed untimely dearth on all occasions. MHSRIP
Why are the police NOT arresting HH for inquiries?
thanks

You are a strange creature, education and relocation have just beought the worst parts of you. I wonder what your parents make of your flippancy?
My condolences to the family. My the comforter, the spirit of God Almighty comfort you.
Condolences
Its death period! Jesus said you neither know the time nor the hour, you mean kachema doesn’t know this? Ati my friend and protector!!!
Sacrifice. HH has worked very hard. That is what I mean.
Nkana lost and got knocked out. It was HH’s fault! I am just trying to be as irrational as any UPND children especially the chief online spokesman and his lieutenant. It makes sense right? That is how we see it when you rant from the tribal point of view but I doubt if this example makes any sense to you because of the spirits of lunacy and Hallucinations at work in UPND.
Too much tombwe, use telako manze or kutundelako before puffing.
Ba Sharon bafulisha abaume mwatambila. You are becoming insane
DOUBLE H IS CHIEF SUSPECT.

I don’t trust him. Could’a been a blackmail or issue of pay.
a wise person always utter sensible things, out of the coments posted some people sound like juda escariote
MHSRIEP. But tuzaona just wait and see ma upndeez.
Comment: M.H.S.R.P
Edgar Changwa Lungu your time is coming soon. PF was involved they need to investigate. MHSRIP
Police should look for possible motives if he was murdered. Was he about to defect to the ruling party? Was his salary paid up to date or he was irritating someone asking for his payment?
Some people can be evil.
Wonders shall never end.Killing your own body guard.This UPND is evil.
@1.4: Musonda Kateule: You are a PF member who enjoys the death of other people. My Brother remember God is in Heaven and you are on earth. He will judge you one days. If god himself becomes sad on the death of a person who are you to raise joyful of your heart on the death of a person. Repent before it is too late. God loves you:
pf is involved because they want to put fearcin hh and no investigation will be taken wait and see edga is evil
pf is involved because they want to put fear in hh and no investigation will be taken wait and see edga is evil
MHSRIP. Ati a lot of people close to hh have died, give us the names of those people.
Three mansions!
