“YOU CAN HATE HH, BUT YOU CANNOT SUSPEND THE PRESIDENCY.”
“We have made it clear, the Person we don’t want to attend the burial of Edgar Lungu is HH no two ways about it.” Makebi Zulu.
Makebi Zulu’s statement is not merely offensive it is a disgraceful assault on the Constitution, a public confession of political bankruptcy, and a loud declaration of intellectual emptiness.
Only a man drunk on entitlement and blinded by bitterness would imagine he has the authority to ban the President of the Republic from a national event.
This is the level of recklessness that separates statesmen from political toddlers.
Let it be said plainly: Hakainde Hichilema does not attend a state burial as a guest begging for permission.
He attends by constitutional right and national duty as Head of State, Head of Government, and Commander-in-Chief of the Zambia Defence Force.
That authority does not originate from Makebi Zulu’s mouth, emotions, tribe, or ambitions. It comes from the people of Zambia and the supreme law of the land.
What kind of presidential aspirant declares war on institutions instead of respecting them?
What kind of leader fails to understand that the Presidency is bigger than personal hatred, funerals, and political tantrums?
The answer is simple: an unprepared, unserious, and dangerously shallow opportunist.
Makebi Zulu’s outburst exposes a man who cannot distinguish between private mourning and state responsibility, between personal rage and national order.
This is not bravery it is ignorance shouting for relevance.
This is not patriotism it is a reckless attempt to mobilize chaos under the disguise of emotion.
A man who cannot tolerate the presence of a sitting President at a national event is a man who would rule by vendetta, not by law.
Today he wants to decide who attends a burial; tomorrow he would want to decide who belongs in Zambia.
That is how authoritarian madness begins.
Zambia must reject leaders who think the Presidency is a playground for insults, ultimatums, and mob emotions.
Anyone who disrespects the office of the President today is confessing in advance that they would abuse it tomorrow.
History has no mercy for men who confuse noise with power and arrogance with leadership.
Makebi Zulu has spoken not as a patriot, not as a leader, but as a warning.
I humbly submit,

EYE 👀 IN THE SKY.
This is not about Hatred.
It’s just about respecting the wishes of the deceased.
Why does Hakainde always parade the Hatred Card?
Let the Deceased be buried according to the wishes of the family.
There’s nowhere in the constitution were it’s stated that the President must attend Funerals of deceased Presidents. I haven’t seen such a clause anywhere in the constitution.
Allow the family to bury their Deceased Relative. It’s just too much.
6 months in the Morgue just for a gun salute?
What do call it ?? The family of bad hearts the young brother killed gutila muleya expect nothing from such evil families.Is it what you mean when you said that you want to unite the national malukula ?? This is a lawyer who have no woned any case
Accord Lungu a government sponsored but not State funeral. Pay his bills, bury him at Embassy park, but deny him the pomp that goes with a State funeral- no diplomats, no flag draping the casket and no military officers as pall bearers. Let Malukula Zulu carry the coffin on his head. If there is no C-I-C of the defence forces, there should be no one from the military there.
Nkuku, you must have a short circuited memory. Did PF bury Kaunda according to the wishes of the family?
We voted you out no need of hating HH it is us people who said no to criminals imagine from salaula to somebody else.
There’s a very powerful message behind voting PF out power. Zambians realised PF was being led by criminals and looters. Malukula was rubbing shoulders with the elite leadership and was handed over the instruments of dictatorship and criminality. We can now celebrate that PF has totally collapsed and disfunctional.
No country in the world would welcome such a bunch of criminals masquerading as politicians. They’re not shameful about what they did to this country, they stole and murdered people, they oppressed people. Some people are very arrogant today because they sit on the money that was looted from the poor. And then there are some idiots who even want to push their luck by aspiring for plot one. Please do some self introspection because you’re not human beings. Now you understand why your own people showed a middle finger to you and voted for Bill 7. They realised that you offer nothing, just like they way Zambians did to you in 2021.
Make I just bury in South Africa after all lungu was not Zambian by origin so no need of accusations or deciding who to attend or not simply bury your coffin full of stolen money thereafter at night you can dig if out to share the cash. South Africans are the ones delaying your process not in Zambia . We even do not need to dialogue over stupid matters
