Cardinal Mazombwe (born 24 September 1931) was a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He is the former Archbishop of Lusaka (1996–2006) and Bishop of Chipata (1970–1996).
Pope Benedict XVI elevated Mazombwe to the status of Cardinal-Priest of Santa Emerenziana a Tor Fiorenza at a consistory on 20 November 2010.
He held several senior positions in the local and regional church, such as Zambia Episcopal Conference president (1972 – 1975; 1988 – 1990; 1999 – 2002), and as Chairman of the regional conferences under Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (A.M.E.C.E.A.) (1979–86).

May your soul rest in peace of the Lord. You were the pillar of the church and the family. You came a long way and I do believe the saying that goes, “God takes the best”. We will miss you, please prepare us a place at the Lord’s house.

Big elephant, you are a crazy person, do priests in the catholic church have children? If you have nothing to say…..please shut up.. N-way if he had left children you were going to torture them with your cruel words. We will see where you will go and you may not even reach 81. I am sure you do not have children too. Days are numbered, each one of us will one day go the same way that others including our cardinal has gone. I thank those who are feeling the loss like am doing right now. Enjoy your life and you continue saying such cruel words…..God is watching. He was a Godly man.

THE CARDINAL’S CONTRIBUTION TO ZAMBIA AND THE GOOD WORLD ORDER MUST BE RECOGNIZED. THE BENEFITS OF CARDINAL MAZOMBWE CONTRIBUTION TO MANKIND AND ZAMBIA IN PARTICULAR WILL ONLY BE FELT BY OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. HOPING THAT THEY WILL ALSO REMEMBER HIM. CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ZAMBIA. MHSRIEP.

May his SOUL rest in eternal peace. We will truly miss him. He was a humble servant of God. To those making flippant remarks , you have never been touched by any loss. start writing your own life histories. The cardinal ran his race and will surely be rewarded.

He was surely a humble servant of the Most High God. We shall greatly miss him. Baba nkosi Mazombwe muzimu wanu ugone mumtendere ndipo uzdzaukisiwanso kwa akufa mwa Kristu. I can surely just try and imagine how you have been welcome in Heaven. Mwebantu those who had chance to meet with this man of God I hope you learnt something from him. His greatest virtue was Humility. Very humble man of God.
May His Soul Rest in Peace

Pipo why do you like opening your stinking mouths when you have no valid points to contribute? The nation is mourning the cardinal and you are busy writing silly comments. You are lucky that Christ died for you ****** ones, pansaka, tapabula ciwelewele!
