HH made mistakes by not telling Zambians about death of ECL within two hours of its occurrence. He should have stopped what he was doing and go live on TV to announce and not through a mere Facebook post.
Again, before coming up with the mourning period HH should have engaged the family of ECL and his political party as opposed to making a program alone.
These are the first mistakes in this.
Kelvin Fube Bwalya – KBF says
There is no need of playing politics over a dead man. When Kaunda died the LUNGU administration also took time before addressing the nation. Some things may require verification before you rush into public announcements and embarrass the STATE. Being close to the ECL family i thought KBF was going to volunteer to bridge the differences between the government and family for a desired settlement. Alas , all we got was blame, blame and blame with no solution then says VOTE FOR TONSE ALLIANCE with his big campaign poster. This is insensitive , despicable and immoral to say the least. The man clearly is using this sad moment to play with our emotions and position himself for election. We shall see if Lubinda will allow him.
Even if HH announced the death of ECL a second after he had died, these guys were still going to have a problem with that.
Zambians should be concerned with the quality of leaders in opposition.
Uuuuum KBF sure how can you join the band wagon of fools as well sure?
Did ECL die in UTH?
Did the family inform cabinet the moment ECL crossed?
You wanted the government to make an announcement based on what they saw on social media?
Have you even seen the death certificate of ECL even by today?
Did Millpark Hospital call Zambian government even as at today to inform the death of ECL?
Who even died at that Hospital on that day anyway?
Aaaaah mwapuba pela but fools will make noise with you anyway, we understand.
Am still shocked by KBF, am left wondering weather people who were once in rulling party go mad when they go into opposition? I mean if I just ready online I was going to say it’s not KBF coz even Lusambo can’t reason like this, but to see KBF even in a video saying it is aaaaah, tankala navipuba zoona.
Please stop talking about our President, focus on Lungu’s body and do whatever you want to do with it, you can even burry in SA or Enswatini if that is your wish.
KBF, you know too well the complications surrounding the death of ECL.
Up to now, sections of the public are saying maybe he is not even dead.
Now we hear on social media that ECL used another name, issues of a foreign passport and tye like.
All, in all, there has been, up until now, a lot of grey areas around this death.
Now imagine announcing the death of ECL by HH without confirming. What would you, KBF have said? Ah! What drama would there have been?
You, KBF would have coming out fuming, saying HH wants ECL dead!
Sometimes, if you have nothing to say, wisdom demands that one keeps quite.
Pathetic leaders in opposition. Even a two year old kid can say more sense thant these useless goons….
Mr KBF, let us be honest here.Who broke the protocol? We have lost our former Presidents who announced the deaths to the nation? We must start learning to tell the truth.Thats why we are failing to understand the value, the tradition and heritage of the embassy park.The very educated people always want to support wrong things for political mileage.It is the history of the country people want to destroy.The death of ECL our number six President of our country was reported to the nation by the daughter.You Mr KBF may tell us which TV station she used to break the sad news.Tell us if she firstly informed GRZ before she went to a TV station of her choice.Tell us if the National Broadcaster was informed there and then.What time did he die and what time was the news broken to the people? You expected the President to announce within two hours surely? Are you serious? I think you are not.And what time did you hear the sad news? And who did you ask or inform? Let me just end here.But stop blaming for political mileage?
HH should have done this,..oh and he should have done that… let’s talk about NOW! Not just criticizing what should or shouldn’t have been done by HH! We’re moving forward now. Don’t drag us back into chaos. Some people thrive on chaos just to seem relevant.
I have now realized Why this buffon was put aside by Data. I have now realized why ECL put aside this buffoon. I ve now come to realize Why HH put this buffoon. I ve also realized why the Tonse alliance is also putting this buffoon aside. I have also now come to realize Why this buffoon has no following, who has come with a lie that he was chosen and anointed one to take over the mantle of the Tonse alliance. His friends are busy preparing for their travels to south Africa, but him is busy campaigning. Power hungry buffoon
Yes,I also think KBF could be a buffoon.First he admits that the failure about Lungu’s death and burial was procedural or protocol,then goes to curse the same country he wishes to lead one day by claiming they shall never ever be peace if ECL is buried abroad.which presidential aspirant curses his own country
Walasa. He is a lawless lawyer.
Abanabo
The behaviour of the family seem to indicate something fishy in the conduct of ECL hospital admission (Using fake name & Zimbabwean passport) and the families strong opposition to the body being repatriated by government. The certificate seems questionable and the fact that no one has seen the body or coffin. How do you conduct a memorial service without body viewing and church and also the strong opposition for the president not to attend burial and the insistence that the body should be lying in state at his house for the entire mourning period until burial. We get the point from the South African government, but it’s important that they conduct investigation to know exactly what happened regarding the who died person’s identity and the person who was admitted in hospital. It’s important to get these facts correct because we know of how Thabo Bester had died in prison, but got arrested in Tanzania after 1 year enjoying life outside prison and when it became clear he had deceived everyone he rain away. This same Lamola was the Justice & Correction Minister. We can forget about the 02:00hrs guy, because he is also on record saying Lungu had chosen him before he died. Now if you ask Nakachinda who knows how the PF lies, you won’t get anyone taking on.
What a mistake. You campaign during a funeral???? And think Zambians will forgive you???? What an uncultured guy!!!!!
