DAPP Zambia Managing Director dies

1. Very Sad Indeed. 21st Century nation with 18th century infrastructure. When will the government start yhe dual carriage way project? Chingola-Kitwe is even worse!! When his family sees the road which has claimed his life, then compare it with theirs, they wil feel disgusted.

2. Sad development, May the good Lord strenghen the family and see them through in this difficult time. MHSRIP.

3. Very sad for the salaula man. MHRIP

4. Our condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Schultz. He will be missed for all his good work and kindness. It was a pleasure to know him.

5. Speeding? very sad indeed.MHSRIP

6. Very sad news may his soul rest in peace. Please God watch over his family, peers and those he helped to make a difference in their lives. When tendering road projects please make it mandatory for major roads to be constructed with street lights. After all we have plenty sunshine to have solar powered street lights or road signs. 

7. Those roads are terrible.How many more lives have to be claimed before we improve our roads.Please construct roads worthy of the 21st century.and those darn trucks shuld be given times in which to travel.ITs so dangerous travelling with 20 trucks in front and behind you ..I counted when travelling from Chingola to Kitwe.

8. Too sad. Let us make more dual carriage ways on all intercities roads please.

9. May his soul rest in peace.

10. Guys be honest, Roads or the driver…??? Anyway may his soul rest in peace

11. Ine thats why i dont like overtaking ifima trucks! id rather follow it panumo slowly until the coast gets clear. Sad for this man. may God comfort his family in this trying moment!

12. Too bad. RIP. I thought they had banned trucks from moving at night in central province.

13. Those blaming the roads, be sincere! if i know that the road is bad, why on earth would i try to over-take a speeding truck? ninshi tekufwa ndefwaya? what can we do if the goverment is not listening? alot of people have died along that stretch and both the previous and current goverment have paid no attention! just be careful guys!

14. Sad. Our hearts are with the family. We celebrate his life and contribution to humanity.

    Accidents do happen. Even on good roads.

15. Quite sad. MHSRIP. Those blaming the government your comments are misplaced. From what Dr Jere has said Mr. Shultz made an error of judgement and unforunately it claimed his life. Its a sad thing thats all we can say not fyama 18th centuary nonsense. Wish the family well in this trying and sad moment. I heard alot about the man’s good works in DAPP projects especially the Water projects in Northern province.

16. Driver behaviour is dependent on many factors. One of the most difficult things for any person driving on Zambian roads is “patience”. When you are used to roads that can allow you to over-take without risking your life, Zambia is a very difficult place to drive, believe you me. Yes the driver can be blamed, sad, he is not here to defend himself. However, a good highways designer will agree to the fact that if a road cannot take into acount the possible driver behaviour, accidents would be difficult to prevent. For me, the capacity of the roads in Zambia had been surpassed donkey years ago; hence a minimum dual carriage would significantly contribute to avoidable accidents such as the one we are talking about. My opinion though; may not matter to you lot!!

17. Its like now you see it now you dont kind of situation. People would say “never drive at night” not because its dangerous, but because there are no road signs to warn you of anything. In developed contries this does not matter; the distances we do in a very short time is mainly attributable to good road infrastructure. If we love this country, we need to invest in good road networks, not tuma 1 lane God for us all, Lusaka Nakonde, or Lusaka Chipata; its very tough for drivers hence their behaviour.

18. Sad state of affairs.  What makes me shocked is the huge humps on the highways in Zambia!  I almost died when I tried to avoid hitting a truck that was slowing down without any brake lights showing; additonally, there was no indication that there were any humps (I suppose the guys had taken them off to make mbaula!).  We need a more consistent way to show the driving conditions on our roads.  MHSRIP…

19. This is a very sad day for Rene’s family and the entire DAPP organization, as a person who worked with DAPP for some years back I personally reflect on so many developmental project DAPP has implemented in Zambia under this guy, starting from HIV/AIDS awareness, water and sanitation’s in schools and communities, farming projects for farmers, orphanage school in Kabwe above all the salaula stores that have had helped the poor and middle class in Zambia to have access to affordable clothing. May his soul rest in peace and GOD be with his family in this difficult time

20. I guess when you haven’t been to Zambia in a while you will cast all blame on the driver.Those roads are so narrow and overtaking is very risky business, but who wants to drive at 10-40km/hr all the way to Lusaka

21. Fyaku bantu ifi. @Mwiponta Mukabwela bushe wale bomba ku DAPP yaku Ndola nangu Ku Chingola?

22. RIP, Rene. You will be terribly missed all around the world for the leadership you showed and the hard work and dedication you had for the wonderful people of Zambia.

23. A long overdue death. Second hand clothes have had a negative impact on our textile industries, spreading to coton farmers and the entire marketing system of fabrics. It set the example for second hand tyres which killed dunlop-Zambia and corrupted Zambia’s sense of self worth. Some people must die to foster progress.

    • Ha ha ha….iye imwe mulekwata uluse naimwe.

    • ts not Mr Shultz that brought Salaula. Mr. Shultz has only worked in Zambia for nealry 6 years, while DAPP has been in existence for over 20 years. Therefore, the demise of the MD will not mean closing the Fundraising shops. If thats the case, then all the other project run by DAPP should close.

24. #21 mojito I worked all over zambia with dapp running HIV/AIDs projects, ndola, kitwe, lusaka, kapiri etc

25. Be it high speed, the system of our road network is poor,,,,,, the road plan we’re still in yamumyaka ishishibantu…. As if the stake hollders in our country don’t see how other countries have developed their road network. The man might have been used to the European standard wereby  we travel at times at 150km/h with tranquility….. Embarassment,,, stupid people burry cash which could be channeled to easy some of the burdens facing our beloved Zambia!!!! RIP, Sir

26. We need dual carriage on all high speed roads in Zambia, and we need them now. Where is the will power to develop the country bane?

27. MHSRIP

28. Sad way to die.MHSRIP

29. DUAL CARRIAGE WAY IS THE WAY TO GO TWAPAPATA!

30. Try motor way

31. The Zambian government must be blamed for all the road accident deaths that happen in the country. You cannt say we are independent and yet every single year we lose well meaning people due to poor road infrastructure. The same roads that were made before independence when the country had few cars are the same roads that are there after 47 yeas. Something must be done folks to change the road system. Where is the Minister of transportation?Developments will never come to Zambia if the government does not address the road system. One lane from Ndola to Lusaka is stupid. Please those who are in responsible positions must address this issue immediately before we lose the most intelligent people.

32. I think some people here haven’t been and seen beautiful road network and hence they have a different view of what others are talking about. No matter what other reasons you can come up with, you can’t defend such poor road network in Zambia. Those who are calling for dual carriage way are right because that can reduce the number of accidents by a large percentage. Where in the world have you seen that kind of road network? Honestly speaking, how do you drive in one lane with cars and trucks from Ndola to Lusaka? Those Guys government are always outside Zambia, Bushe tabamonako ku fyalo fyabanabo? tabengakopako ifisuma? KK wanted to build a toll road from Lusaka to Kabwe but they opposed him to death and the plan was abandoned at Zani muone hills. Sad story and development. MHSRIP.

33. MHSRIP

34. Sorry, Rene we interacted in many foras especially in the KCM child aid project which is still running. Definately we shall miss u. MYSRIP

35. It is indeed a very sad incident. My condolences to his family. He was a dear friend and I last saw Rene last week on tuesday as we travelled together from Ndola to Mazabuka. He was a good and cheerful guy. I shall miss him greatly. MHSRIP.

36. We blame GRZ & it’s politicians who each year make empty statement about making a dual carriage way or high way or motorway from lusaka to ndola when they want to buy votes. Shame on the govt and our condolences to the family. Our so called highway roads are too bad with no signs. Does our govt need the Mushota to and tell them what to do?

37. i blame liato and his gang

38. Sad news indeed, my heart felt condolonces goes to his family and friends. We have lost a great asset not only to Zambia but entire world. We will sadly miss you. May God strengthen his family during this period of grieving.

48. May his soul rest in peace. We have lost a good leader, friend and colleague in development work. He contributed a lot to change the lives of some families in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Denmark etc. We will miss you forever.

49. Sad news,ARHA Mongu District Management.

50. A father of all and man of justice is no more. Us as his children we are in tears that will take sometime to wipe. it feels bad to say bye to a friend,brother, father and advisor but it is worst to say goodbye without a sign which makes me fail to believe that our father is gone.

    my prayer remains in the hands of the Almighty and certain that we will meet again. May the Almightry father receive his servant in full favour

51. RIP
