Lusaka, Zambia – June 12, 2025
Lunte Member of Parliament Mutotwe Kafwaya today paid his final respects to former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, visiting the Patriotic Front Secretariat in Lusaka to sign the official book of condolences.
In a deeply personal and emotional message, Kafwaya wrote:
“President Lungu,
You are my hero.
You gave me political life.
You believed in me.
You changed our country.
You changed our district.
You gave us a new name.
You will forever be in our hearts.
We reman your children.
We shall aways be guided by your enduring mentorship.”
Speaking to journalists after signing the book, Kafwaya described President Lungu as a father figure and mentor whose legacy would never fade.
“President Lungu was not just a national leader he was a personal inspiration. He raised many of us. He believed in people like me before the world even knew our names,” Kafwaya said.
The atmosphere at the PF Secretariat was sombre, as mourners from all walks of life came to honour the late president, who led Zambia from 2015 to 2021, is remembered for his calm leadership, humility, and commitment to peace and national unity.
“He gave us identity. He gave Lunte a voice. His mentorship lives in everything we do,” Kafwaya added.
President Lungu’s passing has left a deep wound in the hearts of many, but his spirit, Kafwaya said, will continue to guide those who remain.
“His dream lives on in us,” he concluded. “We will carry the torch.”
