IF KAUNDA LED A NATION AT 40, TASILA AT 40 CAN LEAD HER FATHER’S FAREWELL !
By Nachilima Cleopatra Chisala
If Dr. Kenneth Kaunda could become President of Zambia at 40, then surely Hon. Tasila Lungu Mwansa, at the same age, is more than capable of making decisions concerning her father’s funeral.
It is both ironic and hypocritical for a government that claims to champion women and youth participation to disregard the voice of a woman and youth leader when it matters most.
Leadership is not a reserve for a particular gender or age. Tasila is not a minor. She is a grown, elected representative and deserves the respect and authority to take charge of her late father’s funeral proceedings.
Let us not pick and choose when women and youth can lead. If we want true inclusivity and empowerment, we must trust women and youth with responsibility, even when the moment is emotionally charged and politically sensitive.
Tasila has earned that right, by her age, by her position, and by her family role.
Let women lead.
Let the youth lead.
And let Tasila Lungu Mwansa lead.!
A HAPPY PENTECOST SUNDAY
Please Nachilima, stop speaking with emotions through your stinking arse! Do you want our country to be led by such a corrupt arsewhore? Never again will our country be ruled by the corrupt Lungu family. The days of Kaunda are different and we cant go back to the dark Lungu empire. She is still going to court and you want to make her a president – what is wrong with you? Were you stealing together? We will not tolerate that nonsense ever again.
I am finding it difficulty to find any sense in this write up. First and foremost, I thought the family, PF and government agreed that the Sixth Republican President will be accorded a state funeral, meaning they take centre stage with consultation with the family. What I agree with Nachilima is that Tasila should have taken lead at family level to guide proceedings not allowing people who are not even relatives make statements. We are now confused who is the spokesperson is this instance? Is it Sean Tembo, Makebi Zulu, Raphael Nakachinda or Given Lubinda?.Who should we listen to? This chaos has a story behind it. This will come to pass in a couple of days we shall hear more. Hoping people are not already hiding chicken and meat in little bags…this is Zambia you never know.
This emotional arm twisting is going nowhere. Like those who have gone before him, Lungu will be forgotten soon after the burial. Zambia is not a monarchy and is bigger than a clique of thieves who want to continue stealing by installing someone clearly documented as being in possession of property regarded as proceeds of crime seized by the State.
My view is that any Zambian can be a much better president than Hakainde. Well, any citizen that does not lie, or currently has no immunity from arrest by this government.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
DO NOT BE FOOLED.
DO NOT BE A FOOL.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Hahahaha indigo, your father is dead and rotting like kapenta. Indigo you are just as satanic as your father chagwa the thug.
Indigo you can say what you like, chagwa is dead hahahaha
Has this lady heard of protocols? Government has defined ways of doing business, including funerals of sitting and former presidents as well as ministers.
This lady seems to be an adherent of lawlessness going by what she is advocating. Or at best, she is ignorant of such protocols. Things are not as simple as your simple logic madam.
There is nothing honourable about corrupt Tasila. She is the reincarnation of her thieving father. KK fought for freedom the lungu family for corruption and thieving……there is a big difference between the two. One was a freedom fighter and the other is fighting against freedom.
Can one compare a man and half to half a woman?
All our former presidents’ funerals were represented by elders from the families of those former presidents, and the proceedings did not have as much complications where you have several spokes persons from different locations all churning out different commands.
To our bereaved family, this funeral should be used to bridge the differences in relationship between the family and the government of the day because after burial the relationship that would have been created will continue to either benefit the family or not benefit it at all and this depends on how this period is handled.
Many people have been seen to be using the lates remains for their own ends to stab wounds in the relationship with government and it is up to the family to see beyond the burial because the late former president will be buried in the next few days but what is important is the relationship that would have been built during the period of mourning which matter most.
Kindly give the family room to make their decisions because after you go back to your respective homes, it is them who will grapple with the aftermath of the bereavement period.
To those elders in the family who may not have stepped forward, this is your time to give valuable advice because everyone can see that the family is being given a crossfire of different forms of advice which may at the end of the day, fail to reconcile them with the aftermath.
Look at the days after the burial, what would you have achieved, would you have achieved healing so as to bring peace to the family, or would you have opened up old wounds which may affect you going forward?
Seek healing and not opening up old wounds. and to those that are dividing the family against government please be fair to the bereaved family because after the funeral they will be alone to face the future.
