SILAVWE JOIN CALLS TO GIVE DANDY KRAZY AN OFFICIAL FUNERAL
The intervention by Government to cover the funeral expenses of the deceased including Dandy’s is commendable. I further wish to join calls made by many Zambians for Government of Zambia to give Dandy Krazy an official funeral.
It’s not a secret that Wesley Chibambo held divergent views from those ruling the Country at present. Nonetheless, Dandy’s music and impact on our Zambian society cuts across politics. Politics is only a small component of it.
Therefore, I support calls to accord King Dandy an official funeral on that account. Dandy ali muntu wesu (Dandy was ours) as a Nation regardless of his political beliefs.
Let’s give King Dandy a befitting send off.🙏💔

This suggestion of state funeral is good and I hope everyone can be offered such condition.The first question is what is a state funeral? What is in this package really? I have seen flags placed at half must and radio stations playing religious songs.And some activities of entertainment in nature councelled.In some serious situations holiday is given.The funeral procession is conducted at The cathedral of the holly cross.The top government officials present and army high ranks or may I say the entire defence and the three arms of government present and the brazz band not forgeting the Head of State him self.Is this the package which the Chelas and others are advocating for on the funeral of Dandy Crazy may his soul rest in eternal peace.My personal feelings is the Ministry of Youth Sport and Arts can render assistance through the arts council.The assistance can be on finance,transport, food and material.Not the other incentives but the kasket may have the flag of Zambia.The Ministers,MPs and other government officials may attend.The PS may go and give the speach if the Minister fails.
I fully concur. The suggestion of a state funeral is a slippery slop; where does it stop? For instance, recently there was the death of a 32 year old young philanthropist who had adopted over 500 orphans and managed, through social media efforts, to mobilise funds from as far as millionaires in the US, to look after them. Until her death, some people had never heard of Ms Nyambe Moono. Somehow her endeavours went unnoticed. Was it because she was not a ‘celebrity ‘. She was buried without even a mere mention from the social services ministry . The out pouring of grief from both her local and overseas supporters on social media was overwhelming. Also the issue of former ‘freedom fighters’ has not been fully resolved . Let’s be sober minded when it comes to such matters as state funerals.
Bo Muleta…bottom line is the cost. If we start doing this for every jim jack and jock. Can the state afford this?
The arts council and his fellow artists can come together and do something. If minibus drivers come together and create a fund for funerals, why cant artists? Lets be sincere, candid with each other. This man may have left kids and wife. Do people think beyond the “Pomp and splendor?” Or we just want to be like “Mrs Buquet?” Batiwone batiwone?
Silavwe is a joker who seeks status in his quest for office. Empty cans just making noise.
Just go and mourn please spare us from more confusion. I know many are touched by this death but was Dandy Crazy a government official? What clause of government procedures are you going evoke?
Politics of stupidity. State funeral using what criteria and which precedent? What about the footballers and other national icons? What puts Dandy in the ranks above others? When JK dies, god forbid, we should have a state funeral. When Danny, Mozegator, and the bigger legends like Rikki Illilonga should also get state funerals for greater accomplishments. Don’t bring politics if foolishness into everything.
The trouble with poverty striken political leaders and their followers is that they are always looking for freebies and for them they believe it’s governments duty. To them government is there to take care of their needs. And that’s the only reason they are in politics. To feed at the expense of government and for all their needs and requirements to be taken care of by government. If the citizens make another mistake they made on Lungu, they would bankrupt in less than 6 months. If you have noticed their numbers have dramatically increased. ( UKA, UKWA, TONSE & NEKA). In the meantime the only thing they know is writing unending fake crap on social media.
Pure rubbish, what official funeral are you dunderhead talking about? and that is coming from a person who is aspiring to be a head of state. Silavwe, do you even know the costs associated with an official funeral? We would rather have one for a peasant farmer who contributes to the food security of our country.
“State funeral??!!” My foot. What sort of leaders are these? Cry my beloved country.
Total stupidity of the highest level …
