LIKE MAUREEN MWANAWASA IN 2008 CHASED SATA FROM LEVY MWANAWASA FUNERAL; ESTHER LUNGU TOO IN 2025 DOESN’T NEED TO EXPLAIN HERSELF OR COURT ACTION TO CHASE HH FROM EL’S FUNERAL
If in doubt of EL’s last words, Mrs Lungu as widow of EL also has the right to chase HH or any person she is uncomfortable with at EL’s funeral.
Unlike Sata who reconciled with Mwanawasa in 2008 weeks before Mwanawasa died; HH and EL didn’t reconcile nor dialogue but had no personal or professional relationship with EL in life and now in death.
And worse, unlike Mwanawasa who facilitated evacuations of Sata and FJT at the peaks of the opposition of Mwanawasa as well as the government SA evacuations, HH even blocked then retired EL from known and scheduled hospital medical review.
Why now is HH mourning EL a life and death even court matter that HH has to explain himself to all foreigners, like U.S ambassador delegation and U.N delegation he recently hosted at State House.
Kaseba sata wasn’t the head of state then
And Maureen Mwanawasa had no state power.
To doyo twapaka mu mitu ya ma Zambian politicians. Can you compare Sata to HH’s positions sure?
Why is it that most people who don’t manage their beards, who allow their beards grow uncontrollably, end being confused and confusing themselves? Can any learned psychologist or sociologists explain to me the relationship between uncontrolled long beards and confused personality.
Use your common sense iwe if you have it at all, Sata was not yet the president in 2008 and had no Constitutional obligation to attend Mwanawasa’s funeral. In this 2025, HH is the president and is mandated by law to preside over the former president’s funeral. HH is the sitting president and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces, it’s therefore not possible to accord Lungu a state funeral with Military honors when the Commander in Chief is not allowed to be there, such a thing cannot happen. That’s lawlessness and indiscipline. Besides that, there are many past and serving presidents from other countries who will come to attend Lungu’s funeral and burial as per tradition and the only person who can receive and host those presidents is HH and not Lungu’s family. These presidents worked with Lungu and should be given chance to mourn him and give him a befitting send off. Leave Lungu’s burial to the government so that they can do the right thing.
@ Citizen
Point on …. We need such educated people in leadership (you)
This xenophobia did not start with forfeited benefits, nor with being suspected of being a flight risk.
Kasebamashila, in case you have forgotten, your man always maintained the longest distance between himself and his competitor during his term of presidency. Be reasonable!
Your man proclaimed, “Ichintinya nshilya… I am back…”, but he is afraid of the competitor’s shadow. Be objective!
Mashila lacks civility and the person he is defending was, and is childish. The nation should not wallow in one person’s and one family’s xenophobia. Be patriotic!
This corpse should be an eye opener. Those that have reasoning capacity shall be separated from those that have none at all.
How can a corpse become a subject of discussion?
Have people heard about government trophy?
It so happens that the person in charge of government is HH.
You may hate him, but he is president and you can’t do anything about it. He is in charge!
This corpse they are discussing does it really exist or is this ECL s plan B? Who had identified the body? Can a family honestly be using the body as a bargaining tool to get what they want? Bitterness should be coming from HH not the other way. It wad not ECL that was persecuted or locked up on trumped up treason charges. Let us think rationally. This is like the case of the S.A convict that escaped from prison using a corpse from the morgue.
