About Pastor Mutale & Chishimba Kambwili’s brotherhood.
MBS17.10.2024
The last time I visited Chishimba Kambwili in hospital in South Africa was the same day he was discharged. The brother was at his bedside as I would always find him. Later in the afternoon, I met both of them and two security men at the airport. It turned out we were on the same flight back home.
After the immigrations check point, we headed to one of the business lounges upstairs. CK used his Zanaco credit card to have himself and brother access the business lounge inside the airport as both had boma economy tickets. I was on a sponsored trip and had a business class ticket. I think the 2 policemen that were placed on CK during his time in hospital and then with him on the trip back, he swiped for them aswell.
So we all accessed the business lounge and in no time lined up for buffet lunch. The Pastor prayed before we had the meal.
On the plane once in the skies, I looked back to check on them. The Pastor was next to CK and both were fast asleep. Exhausted I guess from the many days spent at Milpark hospital and discharge processes that day. They had been in the hospital for close to 2 months. One a patient and the other a caretaker.
Upon landing I was first to come out as I was on seat #2. I noticed a lot of soldiers by the stairs and adjacent was an ambulance. I stood by to wait for CK and his brother (plus 2 policemen in plain clothes).
The Pastor was holding CK they disembarked down the stairs. I said bye to them as they were led to the ambulance. So the this attached picture of CK from a plane straight onto the ambulance is seen for the second time by me first in person some months back at KK airport and now as happened yesterday at City airport. Dejavu.
Turns out the meal we had inside the business lounge at OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg was the first & last lunch (supper) I would have with Pastor Mutale Kambwili. He was as good as a siamese twin of CK. He was ever by his side.
Through CK, ba Pastor became my brother aswell. We would chat often on phone about PF and general stuff. He had asked and was working on footballs for his youth team he owned in Chingola.
Accident injuries aside, the real pain on CK must be the emotional one of losing his Pastor elder brother and his other younger brother. CK needs everyone of us to support him in whichever way possible during this difficult time in the Kambwili family. May the souls of Pastor Mutale and other brother rest in peace. May God give the Kambwili family strength and comfort during this difficult period.
