you were a strong person who saved in our country Zambia like being the president of LAZ,Attorney General and being the vice president. This when people will appreciate you may your soul rest in peace till we meet again and we pray for the Kunda family for Gods intervention. its not easy to loose your beloved one.

i was surprise to hear that from Mr Sata, who living in was always a mockery from sata, saying he is HV positive and very soon he will die so he is dead let the president mentioned those words he was mentioning, lets not be like that, to appreciate a person because they are no more

Who in the MMD will carry Kunda’s torch of keeping the PF govt in check? Who’ll emerge as courageous as this man was in order to keep opposition politics alive? Awe twakulila mudala Kunda for courage and sharp legal mind…MYSRIP!

Best thing one can do is to express his/her opinion. But if your opinion is so negative that it does not fit in the situation keep it to yourself. Kunda despite being bad person to you, he had a family, friends and followers who deserves some respect. No person on earth will be good to all people even Jesus was hated be the leaders of that time. Therefore keep you negative comments to yourself.
I know that even you who comment negatively would want to be respected.

And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.

Love him or hate him, George Kunda, S.C. had one attribute that I had come to admire about him- He stood for what he believed in and articulated it as such whether you agreed with him or not. Very few politicians or ordinary people are like that. Those that are condemning him are not being realistic. George was the only one who had the courage to take the PF on when others were scared for fear of being investigated for one crime or another. He was even prepared to challenge the legality of the appointment of the current Vice President considering that he can notm act as President in the absence of the incumbent. THAT IS WHAT I CALL COURAGE AND THAT WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

Kundas death is just a kill of information. As such people are going to comfirm and proof that is ia truely dead. Chipini mungalu uwapilibukile nga pamusengele from Mwanawasa dream of fighting corruption and got judgement from uk courts to defending the thiefs with RuBbish(RB)as they were stealing like during kafupis rule. So let it be anyway rest in peace and let the wealthy wrongly acquired from zamtel and savoy hotel be for the rest. Any way as he was a catholic he shall surely get the communion of all saints and rest in peace
