WITHDRAW COURT CASE, BURRY WHERE WE POSSIBLE…let’s avoid the curse
By DR LUBINDA HAABAZOKA
I just have to speak.
I understand that in politics, people fight each other. But right now, we have a friend and a father to bury. Let’s lay him to rest—then we can debate other matters.
We are going to become a cursed nation if we don’t show empathy. How can we carry on with our lives with everything that is happening?
Zambians, I don’t recognize you anymore. Social media has truly exposed the hate we have towards each other. The public has the power to pressure both sides to do the right thing, but instead, many are adding fuel to the fire. You don’t understand what you are playing with—or the seeds you’re planting for your children.
I have tried, on several occasions since 2021, to reconcile the parties involved—and I only got burnt in the process. It seems people thrive in confusion. Many others have tried too. The result has been the same.
My advice is this: withdraw all the court cases and let him be buried wherever possible. This is not a matter of law. This is a matter of humanity.
Sometimes, you need to lose a battle in order to win the war. This applies to both sides.
Zambia now needs more sober minds than ever before. We have a grieving widow. Let her bury her husband. Then, we can begin the process of healing and negotiations.
The government has shown that it is ready to give President Lungu a dignified sendoff. We all know and believe that. That’s what matters. So, withdrawing the case and allowing the family to proceed will not be a sign of weakness. What will truly matter are the actions that follow—actions that make it easier for Mama Esther Lungu to continue her life without her husband.
At the moment, all parties involved in this conflict are overwhelmed by emotions.
Calm is important. We all need to be sober. This is not the time for political battles. Funerals have always united African families.
And to the supporters on both sides—just imagine that it was your father who died. Many of you are behaving as though this is a time for photoshoots or an opportunity to impress your superiors—even going as far as to insult the dead! They say, “Ubwali bwapachililo buwama pachililo chabene.”
Let’s bring closure to this.
So ati mwalanda ba Lubinda Haabazoka. Go and sleep, you are a cheap economist. Your knowledge has not done good to you. You are just an undesirable dude in all walks of life. keep low.
Mr whatever you are,ba Lungu was not just the president of Zambia,he was also the chief commander of the Armed Forces. Civilians like you will never get it. You don’t just bury such a man without protocol being followed. He was not a common man my friend,he became a government property when he became the president
The best the family of late President Lungu is to work with government.The so called good sympathizers may not help the family better than government.There are other important matters to look at not just limiting to burial issues.When big people die there is usually people who would want to start stealing property and money.The time they will spend on the court issues will be costly for them.Let them separate them selves from this PF moves in the meantime.It will not help them.What is important for them must be to secure some resources and assets.The government and other family members would run around and organize the funeral issues and end well not to listen to political beings who are opportunists and want some political relevance in the funeral.It is just simply advice.There is time for everything.
