Rest In Eternal Peace!
Oh…was that Kamanga Reuben right behind Kalu?
Youngster, I thought that was Reuben too — ali pa CBU teh?
That is George Kasengele, FAZ secretary GENERAL.
r.i.p.
Rest in peace mate. My condolences to the friends and family of Yoram.
MHSRIEP
My Brother rest in respective peace and Almighty God grant the family. Its too sad to miss you early!!!!
My condolences to the Mwila family & friends
MHSRIP, I never new yoram was Mr Mwila’s son. He was very hard working in his career
So sad to lose a young man in his prime,may God comfort his family in this trying time.
Pic No. 1. I thought the Dad and other pipo are supposed to be in mourning. They seem to be busy admiring the soccer boots and laughing. what was going on?????? kanshi???? Funerals used for showing off or what????? I’m mauless…..
At funerals it is not that all the time you are crying. That could be a moment of reflecting on the good times for the boy and what he has achieved. they deserve to have a smile and be happy for the good times they have had. I dont see anything wrong with that
Lorna well spoken…. guess some people enjoy to see people all in tears~ it is good to also remember good moment shared and the dad being one of the most heart broken needs space to remember his son with a smile.
Mpangula Mputyu. nowardays they call it celebration of life~ mourn like people with hope especially when one dies in the Lord, that is not final death.
Ni malilo yachizungu, can’t u see ati na bamaibake balibe vitambala, ba sakula bwino bwino (looking so smart indeed)
I totally agree with Mpangula Mputyu… in the first PIC they all seemed very joyous like it was a wedding, show off zona kumalilo, in the African setup a mother mourning her child should wear chitambala, damn we have lost our culture. May the soul of Yorum “K” rest in enternal peace:(
It makes no difference whether they cry all the time or not. The young man is gone and their consistent crying won’t bring him back so a bit of smiling helps the family to ease a bit. Do you cry throughout the funeral where you come from?
Do you have to cry for people to know you are in mourning. And wear chitambalas and what not? Culture where? Always criticizing other people. Rest in peace Yoram and condolences to your family. Haters please, not on this page.Â
MHSRIP
:((
Rest in peace Yoram. You had a brilliant Soccer career ahead of you.
INDEED MHSRIP.
We can only draw lessons from his life here on earth.
chaipa MHSRIP , UKWA please forgive BY give him contracts
Phumula ka kotso
So Robiana Muteka is also dead. I do not like Pamberi-e-Ukwa but putting politics aside he did a commendable job any father or president would. I salute him for this and detest people tring to smear this sad episode with stinking political sleave. This is a time to rally together in unisom as a nation for the loss of this innocent young soul that touched all our hearts, not to apportion blame. It is the only way to honour Robby, young soul cut short at such a tender age by cancer. Mushonto wangu, u zamaye se sinde, mi morena mong’a bopilo a oboloke mooya wahao ka kotso!
INDEED MHSRIP. May God comfort the family and its so sad to lose a young man like Yoram.”There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven ~
2 A time to give birth, and a time to die(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2).
If Ukwa had been at the funeral there would have been kafwafwa as usual. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.
MHSRIP
:(( Mpangula, am sure they remembered good memories of him when admiring his soccer boots. Mourning doesn’t necessarily mean crying throughout without resting a bit. They were not laughing all the time as seen in the pics. Actually, the first pic actually put at ease. Nothing wrong with a little smile during such sad periods.
@mpangula u seem to belong to the old school wer u cant smile at a funeral..its ok to smile even wen your heart is grieving
Lusaka needs traffic lights at several of its junctions to prevent the current cow-boy styles of joining other routes due to the absence of this solution.
RIP
His wife Cordelia? Thought they are divorced. Is Margaret, the cheque bouncer his second or third?
Mwashitisha umwaiche….. Death without repentance, dying in an accident. RIP Yoram.
For as long as there are no speed limits which are reinforced, many people will be dying before their time. Condolences to the Mwila family.

RIP YOUNG MAN.now for you Matolokoshi you are using two names why? mashlarro hahahahah
May lord God father of abraham grant you Mr. Mwila and the family grace. This is actually tough moment

RIP
RIP and may God comfort the family.
RIP
B Y Mwila has older children in their 40’s. I didnt know he had younger kids as well.
The passing of Yorum iz sad indeed. May the family and friendz find confort in the Lord Jehova God Almighty. #3 That’s Rueben Kamanga alright. #9 Some well to do familiez would not let children become “popular” for the wrong reazonz. #11 Whether you wear a gloomy/smiling face, black/white, shaby/smart clothez and the like, nothing changez at funeral. #19 Sometimes it nice to politix out of situationz just for once.
Fine boy..gone to play soccer in Jesus 11 team. I know you’ve been welcomed in heaven my boy. Happy stay with your creator…you are at peace. Chashalila ifwe!
You have a wrong concept of Death my friend. No one goes to Heaven when they die. That is a lie that you need to disabuse your mind of. Read your Bible carefully.
Bye Yoram! May the Good Lord grant your family strength to go on.
RIP Yoram, such a handsome young man
Too bad.MHSRIP.
Mwaice you will always be Chipolopolo…RIP.
M H S R I P P. May the Lord console the family and friends. R I P Yoram, gone too soon indeed.
May the Lord’s hand be with all the medical professionals treating your sister Lily
RIP youngman. What a fitting send off. Its nice to see that first photo. Funerals are also a celebration of the life and achievements of a person. This boy had potential and represented his country well. But what a sad story for his young life to come to such an untimely end. Condolences to the family. It is unnatural for parents to bury their children. its supposed to be the other way round. MHSRIP.

is this the guy that was skidding his vehicle and crashed at the mandah hill shopping complex parking decks?
He wasn’t the one driving! He was just a passenger, as was his sister who was critically injured.
where are late Mundia Sikatana’s funeral pictures?Â

well i guess that’s just how we roll mate… spent minutes upon minutes trying to describe you to people that barely knew you. maybe its how i comfort myself, or maybe it really just is a manifestation of disbelief or maybe… i really don’t know. I’m just sad man, that’s all. Real sad to this day. But also real happy at the privilege of watching, admire and play against you. what an honor. True Chipolopolo you were…
How we roll..**==
:( its so sad loosing my fellow zambia,may his soul rest in peace,i never knew that happened,just so it today,my dear brother we will miss you and your memories will surly live,zambia is a country that never forgets their loved ones.
