Smart Eagles/ Mon. Oct 21, 2024
The Patriotic Front has expressed sadness at the conduct of the UPND cadres who attacked President Lungu’s motorcade causing him not to proceed to the burial site after the funeral service of late Mr Mutale and Mr Mwamba Kambwili, brothers to Hon. Chishimba Kambwili who perished in a ghastly motor accident a few days ago as they were escorting their brother for a court hearing in Kasama.
Speaking when he visited the funeral house this morning, Patriotic Front Secretary General Hon Raphael Nakacinda extended sympathies to the Kambwili family and bemoaned the conduct of the UPND cadres who not only stoned President Lungu’s motorcade but proceeded to the funeral house to ransack the place, bringing down the tent and throwing away the food and terrorising the mourners on site.
He said President Lungu decided not to proceed to the burial site because he wanted to avert any further crisis that would have been perpetrated by the UPND owing to his presence as he wanted the Kambwili family to mourn their deceased relatives with dignity and peace .
” President Lungu wishes to thank all the PF Members who attended the funeral and exercised restraint upon provocation from the UPND cadres,” he said.
Nakacinda expressed sadness that such an occurance as had been done by the UPND cadres of causing havoc at the funeral of the Kambwilis who had already suffered severe loss and trauma with the accident could happen and described the incident as inhumane.
Meanwhile. Hon. Nakacinda says the party’s doors are open to assisting the kambwili family who have lost breadwinners, parents , guidians, brothers, uncles and sons with the demise of Mr Mwamba and Mr Mutale .
” May the Souls of our dearly departed brothers rest in eternal peace, ” Nakacinda said.

I remember a similar incident by PF Cadres in Chongwe at chibwela Makumbi s ceremony of the Soli people where Should have graced.
Cadre attacked attendees and ransacked the cooking area, ate all food, poored all the drinks, brought down the tents and looked for HH who had fortunately escaped by then. BUT should it happen again on the other side? It’s unfortunate.
