Southern Province Minister Credo Nanjuwa says government is deeply saddened over the death of Chief Musunga and is making all the necessary arrangements to give the traditional leader a dignified send off.
Speaking when he visited Chief Mungaila and Chief Mukobela in Namwala district yesterday, Mr Nanjuwa said the traditional leader will be put to rest on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 in Itezhi-Tezhi district.
The media reports that the Minister has said that the government remains committed towards ensuring that the welfare of traditional leaders are safeguarded, adding that the government is already making arrangements to air lift the body from Lusaka to Itezhi-Tezhi district, for burial.
Mr Nanjuwa also said that the government will facilitate transportation for other chiefs in the province to go and mourn their fellow traditional leader.
He was a good chief. He did not do things outside his mandate like useless endorsements. Please lets give him a dignified send off
