Dr Chishimba Kambwili
A tribute to my wonderful brothers.
First and foremost my heart bleeds to lose two special people at the same time and on the same day, the pain I feel is totally indescribable, it’s a pain I have never felt before. Let me start with my elder brother Pastor Mutale Kambwili, my life long best friend, my womb mate and my confidant, Mutale was extremely special to me and anyone who knows me knew exactly how important Mutale was in my life. I lived my life side by side with my brother, we did everything together, we played, we fought, we laughed, we cried, we did business together literally everything Mutale and I did together. Mutale growing up was always my protector, my big brother who would do anything for me, Mutale and I got to share and experience the pure the love of brotherhood. During our adulthood Mutale and I continued to flourish together and we achieved so much despite our humble beginnings. I fondly remember feeling extremely safe wherever I was because everyone knew I had a big brother who loves me so much. Mutale wouldn’t allow a single soul to step on me or to belittle me, he stood by my side all the way up until his death. A part of me has died with my brother but I am strengthened by the beautiful memories we made together. Mutale died a hero, he died a brave man and a man who loved his brother, he always used to tell me Chishimba it will always be me and you my brother, I’d die for you mwaiche wandi, those where just words but now that has become a reality, the love my brother had for me made him want to support me during my difficult times especially through illness and court cases. My brother only came on this particular trip because of the sheer love and care he had for me, I actually insisted that he stay back, but Mutale was an overpowering individual. He insisted that he needs to be there because we always had each others backs, my brother Mutale I am extremely sorry for what has happened, my brother you have not died in vain and everything will now be okay, I hope losing you will change the way certain matters are handled. Mutale mukalamba wandi I spent my whole life loving you, I love you even in death and I will do all that I can to make sure the children don’t feel the void, Mutale Kambwili ba pastor thank you for walking with me all through my life, rest well my brother and friend, tusha muchibote, say hi to mum, dad and the rest of the family in heaven.
Rest in power my best friend. Rest in Eternal Peace Pastor Kambwili.
Mwamba, my little brother in whom I was well pleased, Mwamba the most calm and collected person I ever came across, again my brother who loved me so much he walked with me in my most troubled times. Despite our age gap Mwamba and I enjoyed a wonderful brotherly relationship, he was someone I could trust and he was someone anyone could rely on. Ba poor, ba ZISC one of the most talented individuals I have ever seen, so smart, so cool, so warm and responsible. Mwamba was a breath of fresh air, losing Mwamba in the manner I have lost him is extremely painful, Mwamba was just my innocent little brother, a little brother determined to be there for his brother, Mwamba’s only crime was his desire to be there for me, and now he is gone…. I am still deeply shocked and troubled, my little brother was an incredible incredible human being who had no problems or qualms with anyone. Like Mutale … Mwamba was also always concerned whenever bad things would happen to me, he would leave what he is doing to be by my bedside if I am unwell, he would come to the cells when I am incarcerated and he would attend most court sessions, Mwamba believed in my innocence and this motivated him to constantly be there as a source of support. Ba poor mwalufyanya you have broken me my young brother, Mwamba I lived with you for a long period of time in the same house, not a single day did I ever have a problem with you, Malaika wesu, Mwamba wesu I loved you so much I gave my own son your precious name. Mwamba thank you for standing by me in my darkest moments, your loyalty and love resulted in an unfortunate death. I will miss you Mwamba and my brother I promise to be there for Jackson and the rest of your family. Thank you Mwamba for all that you were to me, it’s unfair to lose you in such a manner, my heart honestly bleeds. I am so sorry my young brother you had the world at your feet, young and successful I am sorry my brother for your untimely death. I will seek the face of God as I embark on life without two important people.
Mwamba Kambwili, rest in power you are a hero my brother.
To lose a brother is one thing, but to lose two brothers at the same time is a pain that I can’t wish on my worst enemy. My brothers were peaceful people, they lived a life of Christ and they stood by me through thick and thin, I am broken by the fact that i will not physically be there to put my brothers to rest, but I trust in God and I believe everything is ordered by the almighty.
Pray for me and my family, I am so heartbroken
