![ZAMBIA-POLITICS-MWANAWASA-BURIAL Zambia defence force personel enter into the supreme court with late Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa's casket](https://i0.wp.com/www.lusakatimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/lawyers.jpg?resize=366%2C233)
The Supreme and the High Courts of Zambia today held a joint valedictory session in honour of the late President, Levy Mwanawasa, who was a lawyer by profession and had risen to a rank of State Counsel.
Chief Justice, Ernest Sakala, who led a full bench of Supreme Court and High court judges, said the legal profession and the entire judiciary were heart broken and deeply sorrowful to lose a distinguished lawyer and a President of the country.
Justice Sakala said the judiciary learnt of the death of Dr. Mwanawasa with a sense of deep sorrow, grief and regret.
He said the departed President sacrificed greatly for Zambia towards changing her economic direction.
He described the late Dr. Mwanawasa as an articulate lawyer, who always went to court very prepared and arguments thoroughly researched.
Justice Sakala said the late President was a gallant lawyer who never sacrificed the cause of justice while he was loyal to all his clients.
He added said the late Dr. Mwanawasa was a defender of the autonomy of the judiciary and of independence of the country.
“He was truly an officer of the court,” he said.
He recalled that when the late Dr. Mwanawasa was inaugurated as President in 2001, he pledged to strictly observe the rule of law which he said contributed immensely to the fight against corruption in the country.
“He changed the adage that politics is a dirty game. He proved that politics was a game for both saints and sinners, the known and the unexpected,” he said.
Justice Sakala added that the late President was, during his active law practice, an inspiration to the young people, which prompted many to join the legal fraternity.
“I challenge all the legal practitioners in the country never to sacrifice the rule of law. Let us emulate this great son of Zambia,” he said.
And Attorney General, Mumba Malila described the lat Dr. Mwanawasa as an accomplished lawyer, an ardent stickler of the rule of law, who exhibited great competence, integrity, independence and fearlessness in matters of law.
“He told the truth even when he hurt them,” he said.
Mr. Malila said the late President did not only contribute greatly to the development of the legal profession in the country but also transformed a stagnant economy into an engine of economic prosperity.
“He went down fighting for the good of the nation,” he said.
Meanwhile, Law Association of Zambia President, Elijah Banda, said commended the late Dr. Mwanawasa for continuing to support the activities of the association even when he had left active law practice.
Mr. Banda, who is also a State Counsel, said the late President’s death has robbed the legal profession in Zambia and the entire Southern African Development Community (SADC).
One of the senior lawyers, Julius Sakala described the late Dr. Mwanawasa as a fearless fighter for good democratic governance, the rule of law and a crusader of anticorruption.
Dr. Sakala’s sentiments were echoed by another senior lawyer, Steven Malama who said the late Dr. Mwanawasa uncompromisingly followed the legal practice without being influenced by his political carrier.
Mr. Malama said the departed President was highly professional and disciplined legal practitioner who left a legacy and strong policy of fighting all acts of lawlessness.
“Levy was quiet a bold, articulate and sometimes a very intimidative cross examiner. In spite of that, however, he was very gentle and courteous both to the court and to the fellow advocates against whom he appeared,” he said.
The valedictory session, which opened at 09:20 hours, closed at 10:30 hours.
It was attended by first lady, Maureen Mwanawasa, Acting President, Rupiah Banda, Army Commander, Isaac Chisuzi, Zambia Air force Commander, Samuel Mapala, Inspector General of Police, Ephraim Mateyo, Zambia National Service Commandant, Raphael Chisheta and Zambia State Security Intelligence Director General Regis Phiri.
President of the Pan-African Lawyers Union also attended the session.
Several State Counsels, senior lawyers, members of the legal profession, and government officials were among hundreds of people that attended the valedictory session.
The casket of the late President Mwanawasa was placed in the foyer of the Supreme Court while the valedictory sessions went on in the courtroom.
State Counsels escorted pall bearers as they carried and placed the casket on the Zambia Army gun carriage van.
The body was taken to State House where visiting Presidents and heads of state are expected to view it starting 14:00 hours today.
The body will lie-in-state at State House in readiness for burial tomorrow, 3rd September 2008 at Embassy Park in Lusaka.
The late Dr. Mwanawasa died in a French Military hospital on August 19th, after suffering a stroke on June 29th 2008 while on duty in Egypt.
He is survived by a wife, Maureen and six children.

Thats what you always tell the dead. Even if Ponyax always insults but the moment he dies you all be saying Ponyax was a great man. Yeasterday you used to call him cabage but today ,coz he is gone, its a truly an officer of ……. Siani boza imwe please.
Yaba. Natwende
He trully was i have left the other forum because some useless person is using my name to say silly things. LT please do something regarding usernames to avoid duplicates who want to say silly things in pretence
indeed hes was and he will be missed greatly
rest in peace mr mwanawasa
Levy was just like any other zambian. Lets just bury the cabage and support HH.
Phill
# 8 uchipo
whats wrong with you kanshi. Lean to respect the dead my freind.
mwani konka ba young man mu cafe
Rest in peace levy.atleast now no more touring the big man.too much of anything is bad.
Ba LT you are doing a great job coz even us in Japan can see in picture what was happening at the high court today. We request you post so pictures 2molo for the burial of LPM.
they keep cacry him around and now the bady has changed color. Chiibe pa zed. mailo babwela muko ndabwa other presidents…munthu skin has changed…mwaone 21 days
i will say he was a good man now because he is no more but is it the truth?
ITS TIME ALL ZAMBIANS WE SING THE SONG CALLED !AMAZING GRACE!
ANA LETS NOT TAKE IT AS AMAZING RACE FOR THE STATE HOUSE..
Rest in eternal peace dear levy, we’l greatly miss all the good u did, we’l try hard 2 4get the bad or in short go well, “U ARE 4GIVEN”.
Problem, he had a bad temper! Its the temper with the Mugabe issue that affected him in Egypt.
#18 you are out bounds.
Iam sorry 2 say this,Who ever planned the funneral and body viewing of mwanawaya is a true planderrer of national resourcers.This funneral has claimed more money than chiluba is accused of stealing.God forbid
We cud easily have buried the man and followed up with the 21 days of mourning. #14 and 20 are right
Good God whats up with you people that been so mean.let the man rest in peace, he worked hard for this country and died on duty…..may his soul rest in peace for God almight as taken him from us.
The B. generals couldn’t lift the casket at the airport yet the privates don’t seem to have a problem lifting it. Go figure!
This may not be the right time to say this but we Africans really have an identity problem: have you noticed those ridiculous white wigs worn by the High Court judges? They may look good on British lawyers but definately not on Africans! After such a long time of independence, are we not able to find our own style of African judicial attire?
Otherwise, I only appeal to you all to honourably bid farewell to LPM. He has gone ahead of us and we all need to know that tomorrow it is you and me. There is nothing as sure as death.
Banda go and occupy the office at State House iwe, you don’t have to sleep there. You can sleep at government house of course but it is not meant for a head of state or receiving dignitories. Also State house has more security for the acting head of state. You don’t have to go to Mwanawasa’s residence, I know your ka wife is insecure that you may frolick with Maureen. But please work out of State house and use the staff and facilities…
you know what zambians lets give praise where itS due , even if we so much hated levy believe me even GOD knows he did what he could do 4 zed, you will remember this comment, that man who has died was one of the best and you cannot compare to KK DICTATOR OR CHILUBA THE SNIPER .what is it you are going to say about mwanawasa . Ala lesa aka tukanda pantu Mr Mazoka was the first to call levy a cabbage and he went. Remember levy taali umu kani he did not deny 2 reconcile with sata and believe me SATA is the only rightious person in zambia today . abafwa tabatemwa muka shaa abana naimwe one day nefyuma baka poke balupwa. tamulila abana baba nenu ba shetani lesa akamiseka. beware GOD IS WATCHING,
who cares who levy wanted to succeed him? does that reallly matter? what matters is who the zambian people want. i thought that is what democracy was about. correct me if im wrong!
I do not think lpm was as good as you make it sound now, firstly, he has never won an election, the first elections the late mazoka was the winner, the secound sata was the winner and he never had the mojority rule, he was a minority president, if anything people did not like him as shown in the last two polls, why should he be a herro now that is no more, he even went to the extend of receiving a big brown envelop from choluba in the presence of chungu, so i think lpm was also spin doctor, look at his dark side aswell.
MWALISHIBA EVEN HES OWN CHILD WAS DENIED GOVT RESOURCES WHICH PRESD CAN DO THAT TELL ME. ALA YOU GUYS LETS NOT HATE SOMEONE WITH NO APPARENT REASON . JUST BECAUSE BROWN ENVELOPES WERE NOT FLOWING IN STATE HOUSE AND U HATE THE MAN NO . HE WAS A MAN OF HONESTY AND WISDOM. HOW MANY OF US ARE SICK. ARE WE MANGO TREES WE ARE HUMAN, WE ARE BOUND TO BE SICK AT A CERTAIN POINT IN LIFE. CHAONA MUNZAKO MAWA CHI PAIWE . GOD BLESS ZAMBIA LAND OF PEACE AND JOY, AMEN

Ok now, let’s have him burried tomorrow and move on as a country. enough mourning, although he deserved it.
NO 27 I DO CARE WHO LEVY ANOINTED .HE WORKED WITH THESE KAWALALAS CLOSELY.HE KNEW WHO THOSE WITH ELASTIC FINGERS.
Guys,RB cnt favourably compete wit energetic HH.Leadership in the 21st century has become technical.MMD is digging their own grave.
DO YOU KNOW THAT SATA HELPED TO TO RIG ELECTIONS BECAUSE IN HIS TIME HE HIMSELF DID STOP MAZOKAS RALLIES TO BE AIRED ON TV HE ACTUALLY EDITED , SATA STARTED THE WHOLE GAME , HE DID NOT WANT OPPPOSITION ON TV SO WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT NO OPPOSITION WILL BE AIRED ON NATIONAL TV WHEN HE COMES INTO POWER ASK ME I KNOW HIM , LETS WAIT HE’S THE WASTE DICTATOR. BASHETANI IMWE.

Rest in peace LPM.
Some one please explain to me why the presidents body has to be flown to all provinces to be viewed. Surely this is clearly a waste of money (TAX PAYERS) the respresnetives of those preovince surley could have come to Lusaka to bid their goodbyes. Yes it might be the law, but lets call a spade a spade this precedure was not necessary.
MMD rest in peace and pieces
He was the best president Zambia has ever produced. He worn the elections in 2001 and 2006.M.H.S R.I.P
Nasobs – my sentiments exactly! Almost lost my shocks in a huge pothole today and these fools are busy carrying around a dead person to wherever! Please! These politicking has to end. And as for this Zero Access to Internal Network (ZAIN) – please!! How many people are still living and could use that help?? like Xrist said “let the dead bury their own”
All of a sudden – the money that couldnt be spent on the UNZA crisis and road network has mirculously been “found” We are a nation of hypocritical fools. Whats important, health, education, infrastructure or death?? Please…
PF /UPND For the sake of mother Zambia, MERGE and bury these Mad Muwelewele’s Devils, MMD. They are not fit to rule even monkeys in trees. Enough of their plundering and rubbish. Let us UNITE. We have had enough of them. They have the machinery to rig but we shall have the masses to prove otherwise.
PF /UPND UNITE,UNITE,UNITE AND SAVE MOTHER ZAMBIA
People are so petty! really this man was the president. What is wrong with him having such he funeral. Be respectful, Dr. Mwanawasa was a leader, father and the man we placed our safety in. We have truly been blessed with peaceful leaders in zambia, look at Zimbabwe, West Africa, Sudan, Eritrea. Let us all just be respectful at this time, and pray that God gives us a good leader.
Afrosentic – You hit the nail on the head. We are bunch of hypocrites and until we change nothing good will come our way.We are sick of this nonsense and missappropriation of money. Let the President be buried so we can move on and deal with things that really matter and are affecting us in our day to day lives as you clearly mentioned
Bane ninshi!!!!!!!You keep going on about how Mr. Mwanawasa was a good president when all he did was sell our Zambia to to western and eastern world. Nothing good will ever come from these times, we will fall harder than in Kaundas times. Local production is at its lowest as everything we produce is taken out of the country and even so the few who can make it locally have to be connected to those in power to be able to survive. Democracy!!!! you can say that again bring back Mwaiseni,instead of bringing Spar and shoprite who can not even pay their workers a decent wage.
Ati rupiah Banda is a shameless judas who has betrayed levy imwe sure what has become of the post? And I thought DDay is Friday for the MMD are they working for mmd anyway let’s wait and see because after this if rb goes thru we shall see another party called ULP or something along those lines

the pope died and was burried in a wooden casket. was he flown around the world too?
nothing is more dignified than a simple funeral. all i saw was a circus show. M.H.S.R.I.P
SPONGE BOB
I have close up pictures of Levy in the coffin, he should have been buried right away, I agree with #48. If interested send me your email I will forward one of them.
no one has answered me about the K950million by zain,how strategic is it,donation made on sunday,most of the food stuff are going to remain by the time we bury lpm.the rest of food were is it going to go,,i guess ku ma campaign ya ba mmd,did they make that donation in gud faith or wat,,,,,am smelling a roten cat.zambians wok up and lets question the donation.
#51 Georgia Russia, K950 million by Zain is simply the cost of doing business. “Cost of sales” but not defined as such in the books!
Wether u liked a person or not, wen death comes urway it hurts . if lpm cud com back 2day, he wudnt want 2die nd if he had known all this praise being given 2 him trust me he wud hav asked 4 a third term. All nicethings r said 2 easy the pain of the livin. His strengh outweighs his weakness, mhsrip .
Maybe, but what about the Sokoni case, the Kashiwa Bulaya saga?
Officer of the court, the man was as selfish as any politician, what about the 150 MMD vehicles obtained using government money, please just shut up, it is better to keep quiet than insult our intelligence, we have quiet and you think we are fools, Levy was an average President to say the least, don’t get me started with his case, shaaa.
Ya, I agree, this funeral has been more trouble than it is worth, never have I seen musali wa mbelwa (widow) so energetic at her husband’s funeral, to the extent of 1) ejecting some cobra 2) Campaigning for a cousin, all this before the husband is even buried!Give us a break.
iwe 49,
Ulichipuba, kutiweleka twakutuka. You mean that you are not proud of what Levy did for you? Don’t get me started, I am fixing to go to bed.
#24 Nine Chale,
There is also nothing as sure as eternal life.
#57, what did Levy do for me?
Please let the man rest in peace, he did go through a lot…..and not to mention, the family need a break, please!!!!
As The country mourns our beloved President we should also pray that, the country finds a suitable
candidate to carry on the touch and above all someone,who is young and vibrant,insteed of the same old politicians.We need a very honest and inteligent young man or womanto lead the country forward.
To the family, May you find comfort in the in the Lord.
Dear Dr Levy Mwanawasa, M.Y.S.R.I.P.
Someone enlighten me. Does it mean that who ever MMD will find will automaticaly be President? I think these people and the Post are misleading the Country but one thing is for sure. Both Magande and Banda know that whoever will be picked (hoping it’s Magande) will become Republican President because the elections will be rigged as usual. It’s so discusting. And the POST SURELY! What has happened? It clearly shows that the Paper is MMD and in the Magande camp. Have you read today’s editorial? God have mercy. I wish something could be done to them the Mwembes and the like because they’ll end up misleading innocent people
Please lets not put Mr sata and his team in Office, there are a bunch of crooks,there need to let politics to the young and let them be mentoirs only.There need to rest and be advisers when consulted.
No 63. Gigi? Who are the young? Magande? Is he young?
Tell us who to vote for Kaili
finally..tomorrow ni milo..about time they burried that man..GOD BLESS>.
A great man alas he lives the land of the wicked. he suffered enuf betrayal by those close 2him. Let him be burried and may his soul rest in peace. U wil b missed. Til we meet again. Safe journey
If he was trully an officer of the court then why did he compromise the judiciary by appointing the justice minister as attorney general? He defiled the practice of separation of powers which is the very foundation upon which democratic sociaties are based. Have they forgotten how he used to blast eminent lawyers like the late Prof Chanda climing he was a fundi of constitutional? Let us not look at the past with rose tinted glasses.
Gov’t was imposed on us. We should have the power to have a gov’t or not.
wats happening to my post ba LT?
I would have loved to see him live and answer questions why he is associated with Mathani. The selling of KCM, and if our grand children will be able to work in the mines and why our emerald mines continues to be in the hands of birds (foreigners). These mines are capable of sustaining our institutions e.g UNZA.
Levy, you were truly a great leader.You will be sadly missed by the entire nation.May the good Lord, The God of love,mercy welcome you in His Kingdom where you will have eternal life and always pray for mother Zambia so whoever takes over from you may continue pursueing your great vision.May you Soul rest in eternal peace.
Mhsrip.
Why follow Levy’s legacy when you can not honor his will? Dirty politics. What comes around goes around. Ask Kaunda.
Apologies for jumping the gun here and deserved insults accepted.
When is Maureen planning to pack and leave State House? I’m just saying … she doesn’t need to worry about property grabbing, let her quietly exit and leave it to MMD and then ultimately, Zambians to choose who takes over from her departed husband.
pro long our attention span. six months from today levy will be history, no more RIPs but life goes on!
Imwe mwebantu kaili you were saying TONGAS can not rule the country, i think mangade and HH are Tongaz so i wonder nga mwala votela banani between de two.
Could somebody please advise the Post to behave. Zambia belongs to us not the Post. I do not support the adoption of RB (after all I am not MMD) but these Post chaps are irking me with their pro Maureen agenda! They are losing what little faith I may have had in them. Here is a bit of what they’ve written: “Of all possible negative human attitudes, the one we hate the most is disloyalty….Rupiah was picked by Levy from the doldrums. From nothing, Levy nominated Rupiah to become member of parliament and his Vice-President. Rupiah has over the last seventy-one or so years never been a political heavyweight in our country,…” Who picked Levy and did Levy feel he owed it to FTJ? Maybe,…
These post guys are even quoting from…the so called Bible….which version again? Foolish!!
“And in the same book of the Bible, at 20:29, we are told that “gifts and bribes make even wise men blind to the truth, and prevent them from being honest…” At 37:1, we are again told that “anyone can claim to be your friend, but some people are friends in name only”.
The same Bible also reminds us that “nothing that comes from bribery or injustice will last, but the effects of loyalty will remain forever” (Sirach 40:12).
Ati ‘we are told, reminds us’, shut up! I have a number of correct Bibles which they should ask for and I give for free.
Ngandu Magande is propaganda
In a country ravaged by hunger
Kavindele, what’s the plan?
If not to run when you rob a man…
Kopulande rhymes with Magande
HH is a leader
Of a group of bleeders
Like a used bra, so is King Cobra
Cast your vote, not on a bitter note
Remember FTJ,
Kenneth Kaunda lost his way
Pensioners lost their pay
Which compels me to say
Rupiah Banda is here to stay
#50 Please send me those pictures at [email protected]
let the dead burry themselves.its time look into our heart judge ourselves whether we will go into the kingdom of God or not.otherwise these is the normal chanel every one will pass into it ,it is just the matter of time.MHSRIEP.
The post and stupid Membe are no longer serving the interest of Zambians. Levy just like Lupia was picked by Chiluba from the doldrums too. Chiluba campaingned for him because the man was stmering and had volcal problems. He was picked not to be a bootliker as percieved by Chiluba but to serve the Zambian people which he did. I dont support RB but I dont expect him to dance to the tune of the formeer first family and family tree. The arrogance which Membe and Moreen are exhibiting through the stupid and foolish post papper is abuse of freedom of speech and an insult to the intelligence of Zambian people. We know Membe and Moreen took advantage of the illness of the late so as to enrich
lets just bury the man and forge ahead. one more page to our history books.let us wait for campaign time which is the best time for insults. we have plenty of them especially for those we know have helped plunder our resources.
M.H.S.R.I.P
Ati thoz who want 2 watch the church service nd burial shud go kuma community halls-chilenje, etc. Wats so diferent now-y didnt they do the same ifya body viewin . This is plunderin of the waste kind.
themselves and now they are punicking because no one is ready to defend them. Time to account for your wealth has come. You should explain how you aquired shares in Zambian Airways and other componies. We know your background and the truh will come out. Dont test the inelligence of Zambias. Foolish , Stupid and un cultured Membe and Moreen who have no morals and sympathy for the dead and elders due to money. I wish you luck crooks.
Maureen and his tonga cousins,+ the post newspaper are a disgrace to Zambia.What makes them think that Zambians are fools to vote for them?They are so tribalistic, jelousy ,lies ,impatient and they can even plunge the country int war if we are not careful.Abash.
Come on guys, do you mean LPM’s policies were the best?? We need someone with better ideas and policies and make Zed a better place. Personally, I do not see the legacy they are preaching about. We need a Presido better than LPM and not like him.MHSRIP.
come on lt.show my comment
Mr. President, you will be remembered in the best way you loved your people and Zambia.
Our next president will continue where you left, LPM state counsel.
We will remember you always, sir.
MYSRIP
# 50, Dark Knight pliz send me those 4toz @ [email protected]
Now these Post reporters!!! I am not a reporter myself but how do you ask a visiting president who has come to mourn how Zambia should handle the succession of LPM sure? Some matters are better handled in silence or atleast with dignity. What impression are we trying to give to outsiders?, that we cant handle succession,, that we have no laws to deal with that? Pleease…! No wonder Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete shrugged off the silly question from one Post newspaper reporter who asked him how Zambians should handle the succession for Dr Mwanawasa.
Imwe bantu, wats up with the post……Membe has a very wicked agenda…..God deliver us…not Magande pliz so that we may see wat the Post + stupid membe are hiding by wanting Magande to take over.
Lt whats up you are not posting my comments?
#91 go to picturemonger dot blogspot dot com for the pics
Correction: its thepicturemonger dot blogspot dot com
I cannot see the editorial from the post, but the editorial headlines have me worried! I think the POST should be buried today too. Never thought they would ever spew out rubbish like they are doing now, so they are telling us MMD should do as Chiluba did, wake up somebody from slumber to be President of 12 million Zambians, ba ngwele. Could someone post today’s Post editorial please?
I have just seen the pictures on thepicturemonger and it still brings tears to my eyes lets bury the man please
I honestly feel there is a plan by the post for another party to be formed if not these by elections then 2011 headed by Magande and maureen involved
Thank you #95
Forgive us we are as equaly corrupt as those we condem and point our dirty finger at.
We want a person who can protect us and our interests eg Zambian Airways, Plunder Cases (we are also plundering via our HIGH LEGAL FEES from as “MNB Legal practioners), and some other deals which we are hidden under.
Ifwe ba POST tukondema balya abatuchinga.
So Magange is our choice and that is why we have descided to BE HIGHLY UNETHICAL by openly and shamelessly and without fear to OPENLY campaign for MAGANDE.
Leadership is influence and service. With or without a title, this influence and service must be evident in the life of a leader. For influence one needs an infectious character (honesty, hard work, family values, principles, vision etc). For service one needs skills (education, experience, management, communication etc). I would be glad if we could be educated on how Rupia Banda, Magande and indeed other aspirants fair on these characteristics.
#99 you are welcome
Guys Zambia is survival of the Fittest. I have to know which side of my bread is buttered. If RB wins, who do you think i will sustain my sinking empire? My reporters are also pressurising me to increase their salaries. Please, Please, Please, Please, Please i beg… Ba NEC please Vote for Magande. I promise to write an editorial for each NEC member that votes for him.
Now, after the burial according to our culture is Isambo Lyamfwa. Panuma yesambo lyamfya, there will be imilandu. Then I will talk and every one must listen. I have a lot to say, starting naba mukamfwilwa then cut across. It is not bitterness, but I would offer advice, because Iam the Headman!
Let the Zambian people decide who they want to lead the nation,not the anointed one we have read in the print media.This is democracy era baana and not n’gonena succession or ba mposa mabwe.we not be fooled any more.
Post Mmembe mambala.Stop stone age editorials and let the best man win.You speak for nobody.
VIVA Post and continue with your proper editorials and professional…i enjoy..
No.70 I support you. I would have loved to see him live and answer questions why he is associated with Mathani. The selling of KCM for a song. We shall see who the vendetta/kcm indians belong to very soon.
The bible says in Psalms 105.15 “touch not mine annointed and do my prophets no harm”. All those who called ba Mwanawasa “cabbage” please repent. It is terrible to fall into the hands of God.
May his
