WHEN A MAN’S TEARS SPEAK WHAT WORDS CANNOT
Stephen Kampyongo broke down at the funeral of Mutotwe Kafwaya.
And perhaps, for a moment, he was not a former Minister, not a politician, not a public figure.
He was simply a brother burying his brother.
Kafwaya was not just his colleague. He was his friend. His young brother. Someone he had shared laughter with, stood with, and worked with
But today, all those memories stood painfully against the reality of a coffin.
A life that should have continued.
A voice that should have been heard again.
A friend who should have walked through that door.
Instead, Kampyongo stood there with tears falling freely, as if his heart could no longer carry the weight of what his eyes were seeing.
There are some goodbyes that the mouth cannot say.
Some pain that the heart cannot explain.
And some deaths that leave even the strongest men asking, “Why did you have to go?”
Yesterday, Kampyongo’s tears told the story.
They were not the tears of a politician. They were the tears of a brother who has lost someone he loved.
Rest peacefully, Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya. 🕊️
A sad episode in our country…we last saw similar violence during the PF regime….
