CHIEF CHAMUKA APPEALS TO ECL’s FAMILY TO BURY HIM IN ZAMBIA WITH DIGNITY
By: Sun FM TV Reporter
Chief Chamuka of the Lenje-speaking people has called on the family of late former president Edgar Lungu to reach common ground with government to ensure a dignified and culturally respectful burial within Zambia.
He underscored the importance of unity and the observance of customary rites, urging all parties to prioritize the smooth repatriation and interment of the former head of state before addressing any outstanding disputes.
The traditional leader further disclosed that traditional leaders across the country stand united in advocating for an amicable resolution to the current impasse surrounding the funeral and burial arrangements.
He emphasized that, as custodians of culture, traditional leaders have a vital role to play in preserving national dignity during such solemn moments.
Meanwhile, Chief Chamuka applauded President Hakainde Hichilema and his administration for the decision to defer Constitution Amendment Bill No. 7.
He described the move as a commendable demonstration of government’s willingness to listen to public sentiment and engage in meaningful dialogue.
This impasse is all about ego’s, don’t you think it would be a walk in the park if the president himself personally went and talked to the former first lady, he does not need to talk to Tasila of Makebi but just directly with the Widow and results will be instant, all these long cuts we are using would not yield results faster than the president himself talking directly and personally to the widow, not through a phone call but directly.
