Heartfelt condolences to the family and the people of the republic of Zambia. We remember him for all the good he did and more especially that he had an encouraging heart towards the Chipolopolo who brought us honour by winning the afcon during his reign as president. MHSRIP.

You fought for what you believed
Only sadists are relieved
You ran your uphill course
Every Zambia witnessed of course
You have left a legacy of optimism
As opposed to pessimism
You were a pro poor president
A cry of every Zambia resident
You embarked on massive national development
Visible beyond the countryside
And the mountainside
I stand on hills of Muchinga
Near the district of Mafinga
I see Zambians wearing gloomy faces
You united Zambians in all places
RIP your Execellence

The demise of the HOS is no good news at all. It is sad development. But what is painful is to learn of his death as though it was sudden. The cabinet could not raise to the occasion to put matters straight. Even when it was evident the man was not well, they kept emphasizing that he was fine and well. At one time even in the worst protocol in this country, Mulenga Sata must address the nation in a bid to assure us that the HOS was well and live. Now that he has died, what has killed him? What is it that we didn’t know? Did he collapse, was shot or poisoned? what ‘sudden’ death is this for one on medical check up as we were told when he left the country incognito on 20th october, 2014? The cabinet must own up. Someone should be blamed for the death of the president. If the nation was informed of his ailment, he would still be living. For Zambians would have prayed objectively.
