Lusaka Pastor Battered Over Coffins Tells his Story
A CLERGYMAN of Mtendere who was beaten by residents for being in possession of coffins says he had them for a funeral parlour he intends to open.
Pastor Francis Musonda of Arise and Shine Church said people were wrong to conclude he is practicing Satanism just because he was found in with coffins.
In an interview, Pastor Musonda said he has always had the intention of opening a funeral parlour because he once worked at the Memorial Park where he built roads and offices.
He said once when he was in Kasama, he had the thought of buying a piece of land where he could operate a funeral parlour adding that he finds nothing wrong with a clergyman getting into that kind of business.
The clergyman explained that he consulted family and church leaders many of whom approved of his plans to start a funeral parlour.
He said one of those he consulted was a friend who once worked for a funeral parlour.
“My friend told me that he was now making coffins and I ordered nine coffins of different sizes from him: three big, three medium and another three for babies. I paid him K3,000 and he told me to collect them from his trading area at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) on Wednesday last week,” he said.
He said when he went to collect the coffins, they were incomplete as handles and the fabric were yet to be fitted.
Pastor Musonda decided to take the coffins to his home where his friend was to complete them.
He delivered the coffins home without the knowledge of his landlord and thereafter left for other errands.
The clergyman said he later got a call from his landlord asking him why he took coffins to his home without informing him adding that he was also ordered to take them elsewhere.
According to Pastor Musonda when he returned home to remove the coffins, he found a crowd of people at the gate who he alleges were alarmed by claims that that there were bodies in the coffins.
“I got into the yard, took out one coffin but some men also forcefully followed inside and took out the rest.
I wanted to take the coffins onto the canter which I had hired but the driver was told to go,” he lamented.
Pastor Musonda said one woman stoned him on the head and the next thing he remembers is that he fainted and came to Levy Mwanawasa Hospital.

Choose business ventures yamano. What kind of pastor anticipating to profit from deaths of 09 mortals. Chimbwi uyu should have been killed by the mob as he already had bot his coffin the dog. Police should investigate such chaps as there is more to this. He could even have a hit squad to provide clients.

my mbuyas always amaze me: it’s like a medical doctor going into such type of business. And how do you conduct such sensetive business in a rented house without informing the landlord. Serves him right.

death is appointed for everyman. even a doctor can anticipate his clients to die. people have a need to survive. why do you think there are funeral parlors like st annes? this pastor had a dream. he was right to start small. accept you will all die. very good business for st annes but it is not st annes which will kill you. it is sin baba
