Ifima politics causing all these. Why India?
Who gave order to take him to India… Even doctors at Maina Soko can be demoralized.
RIP. But what was he doing in India and who authorized the trip? Ba Zambia please natushibuke. This is our money being wasted. Tesheti
How many years of independence, all gone to the dogs. It’s all DUCKS on the roll.
You report how old someone was when they die.

Hell no!!!
May his soul rest in peace!!
Tamumfwa fye, just stop this. Na Ba Mulongoti should just refuse to go wherever they want to take him. You just buried a Tonga chief, now again a very important figure you took him to same India. Balepwa fye.
If he had been admitted at Maina Soko nga tabafwile ba Chintu.
Don’t know him , but all the same rest in peace Bwana Chintu.
Very few opposition party members who have been sent abroad for medication by ruling parties have survived
So what was he doing in India? Why is everything half baked under these incompetent tins?
Very sad news indeed!
May His Soul Rest In Everlasting Peace.
More expenses as he is coming in Cargo.
Reserve your silly comments, death does not choose which country one has to die from. Why comments of hatred ba swine. Brother rest in peace.
They are just been stupid and pity
LT or ZAF, care to mention the cause of death? Accident, illness, etc.?
By the way LT it is called New Delhi (not New Deihl). As a nation it’s about time we strived to deliver anything we do with the highest level of performance and professionalism, that includes writing articles meant for public consumption. Yes one or two errors and mistakes are tolerable, but not constant and consistent errors in almost every article.
This is not an official media site. Its called bloggers site. Bloggers careless about what and how you want to hear. In short bloggers are kachepas in other words.
Mate, not sure what you mean but whether it is a blog or not, doesn’t give them the licence to write errors all the time. I read blogs elsewhere and they rarely make errors.
Besides I believe LT has now become an official source of news as they don’t write their own opinions but the report on official matters and don’t make up things. Certainly it is my only source of news about what’s happening in Zambia, and I believe many others too. They need to up their game!
May his soul rest in peace.
Some people are too stupid to comment. How can you post stupid comments on such an issue? This is not a political but a funeral platform so mind your speaches.
What is the protocol on spending public funds to treat these politicians abroad?
Rest in Peace Sir. I will remember you Sir as a humble Commander that understood what it means to be a Senior officer. May God comfort the family and the Air Force plus zambia as a country. Go and Rest in God’s protective ???? Hands Sir.
The fact of the matter is that we have lost a gallant soldier, who vowed to work for mankind in any area of operation, may the soul of our beloved uncle,brother, father and friend rest in eternal peace and may the Almighty God be with the family even in this trying moments,God bless our president.
Condolences to the Chintu Family in Ndola. Zambia has lost a son and we thank him for his service to the nation. MSHRIP.
I write this without scientifically-collected data and so, I do not claim total truth (that is, perhaps things are not as suspicious as they appear to me). Whatever the actual situation, my observation has been that almost everyone I know that has received treatment in India has died either there or shortly upon return to Zambia. It has made me wonder if black Africans are given all attention in Indian health facilities.
Let us take a look at these:
– The caste system (ethnic group ranking practice) history of India suggests to me that good enough attention cannot be given to black people.
– Not all the people working in Indian hospitals are fully trained. For example (in an effort to minimise cost) one eye hospital uses women from surrounding areas to give some amount of…
Very sad indeed. May the Lord be a comforter to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
