My condolences, government should have sent him to India
GRZ neglected this man,how can he die in LSK big people are taken to India and RSA is it not the culture pa ZED, MHSRIP
Yaku ! chabipa nokumfwa
sad news while people like shikipolomia are still enjoying good medical facilities in south africa. I wish he was a chief in Nigeria he would have died a rich man…in zambia many chiefs are poppers.
I come from Samfya myself thank you pipo for the condolence messages, our chief is gone my his soul rest in eternal peace.
Ba LT Chiluba has been acquited why are you not updating us ?
My condolensces to the family of the Chief and to his subordinates.
Ata se pa zed, ka chiluba free,one wonders why we even have a court system, why did LEVY make a fuss about taking Chiluba to court when all new finally nothing will be done to such people
MHSRIP. Why not die in india, RSA or france!
Since kulibe justice system maybe we should return to taking justice in our hands when it comes to politicians,it seams to me a man who sells a bit of marijuana,a woman who reports on how the government is incopetent on providing quality heath care are given quick justice by our system, it leaves us with no choice but stoning these crooks if we see them in our streets
Chiluba is free the problem with criminal charges is exactly that they are criminal it has to be proved beyond doubt and being honest we hard the metrix of plunder but on criminal charges there where still questions to be answered
OOOH my word how come he wasnt evactuated to millitally hospital in france,his friend has just come back from india and others are still in south africa, may be he was the Headman, otherwise it’s a big loss although some chiefs are partisan, this GRZ is selective, hope he was fearing the most high.
Simply died in UTH and not France, RSA or India because he was PF.
They may have died in India, France or RSA, the destination is the same, Rest in peace ba Mwansakombe.
May his soul rest in peace. Thanks for yo massages fellow Zambia. I come from Mwansakombe and iam grateful to you all for your massages
i am coming home to take over from you old bag! rest in peace!
my all the dead peoples sours rest in peace in the world.
#13 Being PF did not stop Sata going to RSA for treatment
When you look at the tourism potential of this place in conjunction with what’s heppening now in Zambia-taking presidents, ministers, chiefs (etc) abroad and overseas for proper medication he does not deserve Zambian hospitals, late alone dying. When I show-cased Samfya to the company I had worked for at one time, the chairman and directors of the company just wondered why Zambia is a poor country. “This place can feed the whole Southern Africa”, they said.
#5, KCM. Samfya is Hawaii of ZAMBIA. That place is just one of the most beautiful places on earth. Most of the white people (‘whites? coz they appreciate beauty) who have visited the place come back to say they have never seen such beaty in their lives. It’s a wow!!, place. But, they all express dissappointment no one has done something about making it the world’s tourist spot. ZAMBIA FOR YOU!
#18, Kalombo Kanga. SATA never went to RSA consciously. The trip was arranged when he was unconscious. So, you can’t blame him for having gone to RSA. I am not saying he himself wouldn’t preferred to go to RSA. But he never arranged the trip himself, nor did his party. So, give some other valid examples.
funny how the same Govt…. just sent one chief to India for treatment and left another to rot !!!!!!!! let’s not forget the crimes against humanity in Govt…. run health sector !!
To be fair, goverment must evacuate his body to South Africa (or atleast malawi) before burial. we cant have a chief dying without evacuation when chaps like Teta are in South.
Why wasn’t he sent to india for treatment
His death could have been prevented but they choose to send teta to SA instead of our traditional leader.
Too bad our chiefs are dying one after another,ba Mwewa gone,baMwansakombe bakonkapo, nomba naine ndi mwinangoma,nkayapyana ishakwesu ku nika. Rest in peace makhosi
Chief R.I.P at least you did not drain and waste taxpayer’s money in India,South Africa or France
