Condolences to the bereaved family. MHSRIP
Condolences to the Mukonge’s family , may the good lord guide and confort the family .
Was this independent MP pro PF?
covid-19 is real…..MHSRIP!
Sad for the family. May they be comforted.
If he succumbed to a disease of public health concern it is important in the fight against such diseases to divulge so that the fight can be helped. People are saying that they do not believe there is a dangerous disease because they have not seen anyone die.
PF will be morning and salivating for the Lukasha vacancy to prop up their numbers for Bill 10. Just wondering why matenda tibisa koma malilo sitibisa.
Parliament must be closed and all Parliament workers screened and quarantined for 14 days! MOH should show leadership on this because we don’t want to lose more MPs for PF to take advantage of to prop up numbers for Bill 10 shaa!
MHSRIP.
Being admitted in Levy Hospital is a death sentence …useless hospital…now you will see the lazy thing in State House jump up and start campaigning again as that what he only knows and more guaranteed numbers for his evil Bill 10. This is why they wont close parliament when its contaminated with covid.
Shut it down!!!!
Iwe are you an African really? First pay your condelences then you can go your way as Bantustan party cadre.
Died from Covid-19. The cause of death is not mentioned in the article. This is deliberately meant to trivialise Covid-19 by PF. They are spreading the disease throughout the country. These MPs will finish with this cold weather
Thieves are now dying one by one
HH IS SO POWERFUL – GBM
ITS HH WHO TOLD THE RWANDAN REBEL LEADER TO FRAME PRESIDENT LUNGU – GBM
I tell you HH has a lot of money”
I am 100% sure that its HH who convinced the Rwandan Rebel Leader Maj Nsabimana Sankara Calliixte to frame President Lungu with funding of his rebel group so that he can be kicked out of State House, Former UPND Vice President Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said.
Speaking in Lusaka this morning, GBM said HH is the only Zambian who has more than enough money and influence across the world and there is no doubt he can maximise the same influence to frame President Lungu with serious cases so that he can be kicked out of State House.
“I refuse to believe that Mr Hakainde is clean in this matter. I know the man, he has a lot of money and influence across the world…
Interesting, so what are the remaining numbers of pro Bill 10 mps?Foolishness will disseminate pf,close parliament please…you will end up dying you f…ls
RIP great man. You contributed alot to the nation and for that we are forever thankful.
What is unsurprising, is the usual diasporans who show a lack of respect following the death of someone. Very unzambian to start discussing the cause of the death of someone even before he has been laid down to rest. It shows how out of touch most evil diasporans are. They have lost their hearts there abroad due to being treated like animals . Their hearts have hardened.

Condolences to the bereaved family and MHSRIP
Our hearts go to the Mukonge family at the loss of their father, uncle, son and colleague to many – Mhsrp.
Surprisingly, late MP is getting kudos from some parties that did not even want to adopt him as their aspiring candidate. Lets be truthful to what is said about the loss of a hard working man.
They opened it for bill 10. Look now.
Shut it down, what’s the use?
Death is death no matter how one dies of. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
I know PF is showering crocodile tears.
My comment is awaiting moderation …
Really sad to read about the passing of Mwenya, such a good and hard working man he was. He will be missed by many of us. MHSRIP and sincere condolences to the family.
May the two honourable Members of Parliament rest in Rodgers Mwewa and Mwenya Munkonge rest in peace. There’s a time for politicking and a time to mourn regardless of who has died. You UPND cadres must learn to understand that. When one my icons and founder of UPND Anderson Mazoka died, the entire nation mourned not just tongas. Humanity simply means that because we all feel the same pain when a loved one dies. Muli bapuba bonse imwe. May the two MPs rest in peace.
It’s sad when death takes away from the nation and family their loved one but exaggerating the condolence message makes a mockery of mourning! Politics is in the mix though trying to mask greed surrounding capture of an extra seat PF are strategically campaigning already eulogizing the independent MP! MHSRIP
Cant morn sellouts!
