Sad news and my condolences to the PF family.
Ooh my Zambia. What’s going on? Anyone who lived in Nkwazi house gone sure? Aaaah?
Eya, nomba you understand why HH has refused to move to Nkwazi house ee?
The more reason why it’s better for Presidents to stay in their own personal homes and only report at State House for work UNTILL Powerful Sangomas cleanse Nkwazi House.
HH should never move into Nkwazi House.
ECL our man go well.
MHSRIP.
This is terrible news.
May the family, and the majority of citizens find comfort in the Lord during this dark hour.
ECL, your legacy will live on for a very long time. You were dearly loved. Even as you were being persecuted, you remained calm, with dignity. Go in peace, father of our Nation.
MYSRIEP.
Hallelujah good days ahead now and Indigo is shitting bricks kekekekekke
Bad news runout of words
Stop cracking jokes over the demise of ECL. Some of you seem to be happy. Your comments speaks volumes.
Thank you for your comment Musonda.
Imwe bonse who are making a joke out of the death of the 6th Republican President, mu li fi puba sana, find something to do. You are clearly just bored and useless empty vessels. As Africans, we are not brought up in this manner. Let us respect the dead, regardless of who they are, as one day we shall all die, including yourselves in case you forgot.

Sad and shocking news. Life’s a death sentence but I didn’t expect this to happen to the 6th President of Zambia so soon. Condolences to his family as they come to terms with this loss.
