I have been praying that your death turns out to be false, Nakacinda mourns Lungu
PF faction secretary general Raphael Nakacinda has taken to social media, crying that he has been praying and hoping that his boss’s death is a lie.
Nakacinda who happens to be one of former president Edgar Lungu’s loyalists stated that he was broken by the passing of Lungu whom he described as a father figure in his life.
“My heart is broken by the unfortunate passing of President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
I have been sitting and praying, hoping that somehow the situation turns out to be different but seeing all the confirmations and posts has just deepened and made the reality more vivid,” he wrote.
“My boss, my father, the father of the Nation and the hope of the Zambian people in the face of terrible adversity, we all were looking to you to speak over 2026. We have been waiting for you.”
He added that his words were many but the silence of grief kept overpowering them and shutting everything else down.
Nakacinda said Lungu is the one that taught him loyalty and life lessons that he shall forever cherish.
“You taught us to be strong, I remember when you visited me in hospital and encouraged me to be strong. You gave me so much hope
You also taught us loyalty and told us to be loyal to our leaders.”
“I will forever be grateful for the life lessons you gave me. In my absence you acted as a father to everyone even to your grandchildren. For this I’m forever grateful. We are broken God only knows,” cried Nakacinda.

Do you even know how to pray, ficala
You should have just shut your bloody mouth.
Sometimes it’s better to keep quiet. Nakachinda is an elderly man and to imagine that for all his years he never knew the value of loyalty is mind-blowing. Maybe this explains why Nakachinda was so unfair to Nevers Mumbai and MMD. He didn’t know what it means to be loyal to friends, relatives , family and his leaders. And yes ECL did a very good job on him by teaching him to be loyal. I hope this is what Nakachinda is telling plainly telling us.
Let the truth be known.Lungu was a good man but surrounded by these thieves like Muamba,Nakachinda,Chitotela.Kaiezer Zulu,Mundubila,Chilangwa,Zayellow,Davis….the list is endless.He just followed whatever they tell him to do.That was his downfall,being surrounded by thugs who wanted to steal from the treasury.
No one would be surprised by his cries because Lungu appointed him to postilions not because he had any skills or leadership talents but simply because he was incorrigible and loyal even when given absurd and foolish instructions.
Nakachinda, stop behaving like child. You and Lubinda were catalysts in the demise of Lungu. You forced him out of retirement even when you you knew the man had no intention of a come back. You paraded him everywhere even when you could see that he was weak.
