Response to Levison Nkhoma, aka Bikilon’s Apology
By Thandiwe Ketiš Ngoma
What Exactly Were You Celebrating?
With all due respect, your apology rings hollow when you fail to address the most important question: what was there to celebrate in the first place? The nation is in mourning.
A family is grieving the loss of a husband, father, and leader. Yet, in the middle of this sorrow, you and your “team” saw fit to turn it into a party because the court ruled in favour of the government. Do you not realise how deeply insensitive and heartless that is?
This was not just a private mistake; it was a public display of callousness, streamed for all to see. You were not simply “caught up in the excitement.”
Excitement about what? The removal of a widow’s rights? The pain of a family already carrying the unbearable weight of loss? The forced interference in the funeral arrangements of a man who once served this nation as Head of State? If that is what excites you, then the problem runs far deeper than you admit
You claim the moment was unplanned, but that does not excuse it. It only reveals a lack of moral instinct and an inability to recognise that some moments demand solemnity, respect, and restraint. A court ruling in favour of the government against a grieving family is not, and will never be, a reason for singing, dancing, and recording yourself for the world.
You ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness requires honesty, self-reflection, and a full acknowledgment of the harm done — not vague excuses wrapped in rehearsed humility.
Until you address the true nature of your actions, your words will remain nothing more than damage control aimed at salvaging your image, not repairing the wound you deepened.
A simple truth stands: no reasonable person with an intact conscience would celebrate during a period of national mourning unless their intentions were malicious or their moral compass was badly broken.
So I ask again, and I expect you to answer, not dodge: what exactly were you celebrating? Because until you can face that question with sincerity, your apology carries no weight and brings no closure.
Most people are relived the body of former president will be back home
Ketis, people react differently when they experience tension.The best is to avoid that causes tension.Iam not personally happy to see anybody celebrating a funeral.However, people may celebrate a court relief when they have gotten the answer right and according to their interest.The Lungu family could have smiled forgetting that they are mourning if the judgement was to their interest.We must understand this.The family showed displeasure by insulting Zambians.If you fight a government worker on duty and working in the name of the people of the republic of Zambia you are fighting Zambians.Bikoloni has apologized just understand him.He forgot that the judgement concerns a funeral of former Head of state and it is not only a dispute of burial options or desires.Those who passed through this may explain their experiences.
He was celebrating so he could be noticed by the UPND leadership. He is a sycophant
She wanted difficulty to react like she did, but is difficulty same as getting whatever. Heaping words just bcos you can. No no no, this is offside. respect our differences, if you look the way you look facially, whichever way you look, does it mean everyone else shud look the same looks. Are they the best of looks anyway. Come on let’s be serious. Difficulty had every right to react to the good news in the way he did. Who are you to judge him. In any case you are conspicuously quiet about that insulting idiot who insult in court, that shows how imperfect even are, choosing what to criticise and what not. Who blames you. Respect others pips opinions, not just yours.
It’s good to have order of doing things. It’s also good to see citizens abiding and doing things for the sake of national unity in accordance with customs, norms, tradition, customary law and republican construction. Thanks that the court has what is right for us all as nation
Unfortunately, this is the legacy of PF. This is what the PF did to the national psyche. Under their rule the nation lost its humanity and became utterly insensitive to human dignity. Women were undressed for wearing red attire (one lady UPND youth was undressed in front of the former vice president, Mrs. Inonge Wina, a lady, during a youth day match past and she didnot so much as protest or reprimand the PF thugs). Insults opened doors to political power (the case of Why me) and anti-social behaviour was handsomely rewarded. We sowed the wind and we are reaping the whirlwind.
Anyone celebrating the court ruling has to be sick in the head. There is no winner or loser but the way things are, everything is now a political contest.
It will take a long time to reconfigure the minds of the average Zambian. We need a total re-orientation after the misrule of the PF – morally, economically, politically, socially, spiritually.
Why didn’t you you react to insults from the so called ECL’s sister. Idiot buffoon, why couldn’t you react to insults from Why me, who was sponsored and taken by ECL himself and his group. Bikiloni, and everyone just felt relieved. Citizens want to see ECL buried, here as fellow Zambian, comrade.
