The remains of Zambia’s First President Kenneth Kaunda arrived in Mongu district, Western Province at 11:30 hours, ahead of the provincial funeral programme.
This follows the official wish of the late Dr Kaunda’s family for the body of Zambia’s founding father to be taken in all the 10 provinces of Zambia before he is put to rest on July 7th 2021.
On hand to receive the body of the late President was Vice President Inonge Wina, Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit National Coordinator Chanda Kabwe, Provincial Joint Operations Committee among other government officials and members of the clergy.
While in Mongu District, the funeral cottage carrying the body moved from Mongu City Airport to All Saints United Church of Zambia as residents station in designated points to have a glance.
A church service in honor of Dr. Kaunda is currently underway at All Saints UCZ church in Mongu district.
Yesterday, the body was taken to Choma district in Southern Province where a similar programme was undertaken, and tomorrow the body will be flown to Solwezi district in North-western Province.
Pure madness!
We thank and appreciate the men in uniform for your part in this historic event. Let’s give our KK a dignified send off.
Western hospitality. Our father KK would have been proud to see this level of patriotism. We thank all the pf members for their donations to this funeral. We are still waiting for a single ngwee fromthe upnd
Just wondering…is the body really in that coffin….or has the Kaunda family Conived with the PF government in order to dupe Zambians flying an empty casket around the country…..i smell brown envelopes and huge allowances….. and are they treating and maintaining the body along the way…..????????…….things are not making sense….the fact that there was an uproar against it and it still went ahead….now I Know it’s KK’s family’s idea….anyway MHSRIP..he did much for our freedom
Just wondering…is the body really in that coffin
IVE ASKIED THAT BEFORE LET… IT REST SOME ARE JUST TOO DULL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS HEAT
IF THE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY LET THEM ENJOY
IF PF DIDNT MESS UP THE ECONOMY AND MAKE MILLIONS LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE
WE WOULD WILLING GIVE A FEW NGWEE DONATIONS
BUT NOW ITS ONLY THOSE IN THE POCKETS OF PF THAT ARE ABLE TO DO SO
SORRY YOUR FAULT NOT OURS
Hey dumber than dumb UK based troll and imposter KZ, why do you want a single ngwee from the UPND? This whole thing of trundling the body of KK around the country was an idea of your incompetent PF boss Edgar China Lungu, so why should UPND chip in? Why don’t you ask those id!ot!c criminal cadres for money, they got a fortune from you??? PF: Lying about everything, not delivering anything!
Is there a body in there or it is just a draped Casket?
The money they are spending on this exercise, could be used to buy covid vaccines. It is all like $42 million fire trucks ( or wait a minute)………… wheel barrows!
Only K40 million to procure oxygen for COVID 19 patients, but $40 million to ferry the remains of KK around Zambia! How do these people sleep at night?
Was it Chanda Kabwe who paid you to write this article? So childish…
“Its KK family demand, not PF government “. Idyots…
PF: Lying about everything, not delivering anything!
I doubt many Lozi people are sad to see the last of that “UNIPIST Malawan” criminal who abrogated the Agreement. Akaise namalyanga yo! I also doubt he is in that coffin ??. “Uzamae ni 4 namalyanga tuwe”. Now that Wina is also there, sikwama saluna sikai?
So what???? What would they have achieved at the end of the day??? They could have just buried the old man.
UPND certainly will not donate one single Kwacha to this ludicrous exercise. It was PF’s idea so they can pay for it!
PF lies indeed wasting money and time transporting an empty coffin…its not easy to take a corpse out of the morge for even one hour here in the UK even in winter.
DONATIONS TO CHURCHES, FUNERALS AND OTHER DISASTERS ARE A PRESERVE OF THE PF AND ITS SURROGATES. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE MONEY IN THIS COUNTRY. THE REST OF US DONATE OUR HEARTFELT TEARS.
