North-Western Province Minister Robert Lihefu says government is deeply saddened by the death of Rodgers Sakuhuka, a former Cabinet Minister in the UNIP government who also held other senior portfolios.
Mr Lihefu described the late Mr Sakuhuka as a dedicated leader who served the nation with passion, enthusiasm and patriotism.
Mr Lihefu said the late Mr Sakuhuka was a great man who deserved to be mourned and honoured with the highest dignity befitting a patriot.
He noted that the former Cabinet Minister was a trusted public servant whose contribution to national development was exceptional, adding that his passing is a great loss not only to his family but to the country as a whole.
The Minister said this when he visited the bereaved family at the funeral house in Zambezi District ahead of the burial.
“The Republican President, Mr Hakainde Hichilema, would have wished to be present personally. However, due to other pressing national engagements, he has sent me to represent him and convey his message of condolence that he is mourning with you and the entire nation,” he said.
Mr Lihefu urged the bereaved family to find comfort and strength in the remarkable legacy the late Mr Sakuhuka left behind and called on all Zambians to honour his memory by emulating his selfless service to the country.
