Late President Michael Sata’s body has been taken to State House where it will lie in state until burial tomorrow, November 11, 2014 at Embassy Park in Lusaka.
The late President’s body has been moved from Mulungushi International Conference Centre where it has been laying in state since it arrived in the country on November 1, 2014 from London where the former Head of State died at King Edward VII Hospital.
The late President’s body which arrived at State House at about 12:00 hours was escorted security personnel that included the Zambia Army, Zambia Air Force, Zambia National Service and the Police.
Foreign Heads of State, other Dignitaries and State House members of staff will later in the day be accorded a chance to pay their last respects to the late President.
Nine Heads of States and other dignitaries are expected in the country today ahead of the burial of the late former Head of State.
Late President Sata who died in London at King Edward VII Hospital will be put to rest tomorrow November 11, 2014 at Embassy Park in Lusaka after a Requiem mass at the National Heroes Stadium.
Sorry, why take the body to state house?
Sata is as fit as fiddle says Katema and Kapeya. He is just having a coffin testing moment/holiday!
SPOOKY STATE HOUSE OF HORRORS
I want to picture of THOMAS NSAMA, but nobody takes him.
If it was me I would take a selfie right there at State house, when history is being made, with a title ” First ever dead-body in State House”.
Next they will move his coffin on to the GRZ Presidential challenger for 30 mins flight around the capital’s airspace!!
Tomorrow is the final day… and the battle for plot 1 begins 12 Nov. Life has to go on. Am looking forward to the fight for PF presidency after tomorrow. Interesting time lie ahead. God bless Zambia.
What is going on at Zesco?
Blackout, does this have anything to do with that $50 million Hydro electric power station that Zesco announced was just completed? I think I saw an article about that somewhere here @ LT dot com. Of course when I saw that headline, the last thing I expected was a blackout. But that’s the real Zambia. Everything is upside down. Good is bad and vice versa. An invitation means get the hell out of here. And when you see someone smiling at you, run for it. He’s up to no good.
Rest in peace sir. Will really miss you
So, King Cobra is really dead huh
No he is going to State House to conduct his last swearing-in ceremony.
I was about to ask a question but then I saw that Mr Watu preceded me.
Whatever our political affiliations, I’m sure we can all agree on one thing. Three days from now the who question will start. When people hear the name Sata, they will ask, who?
Or better still which one?
Why state house and not his personal residence in Rhodes Park… please leave that GRZ house for the next president! !
Sata sent alot of times absent in there doing nothing! !
Dem spooks like to play bones and shoot dice.
They want to live the “spookiness” in the State house
They want to stash some RDA cash in the coffin watch out besides Sata is healthy and wooing investors in London
Kamuya mukashike, tulitendelwe nafyo ifyamalilo!
Rest in peace king cobra! NiggerLewis,Malawi.
ok you dirty nigger you can go and shower now!!
Hey joker. We needed an hourly updated when he was a live and would appreciated.
Rest this case now. And don’t look back in the bin.
As sad as it is when these things are over the top, they begin to loose the meaning and significance. The Gun carriage should be a symbolic gesture to be used only when welcoming or sending the fallen on their final journey. Globe trotting a vip coffin on a gun carriage hearse like that is an embrassment waiting to happen.
Wenzelu you make think and tease the family and Sata followers but your hate towards Sata in death is one of the worst form. Tomorrow it maybe you
This is sick ! Which ***** is responsible for dragging a corpse around?
Bodman
I can only say that I hope when I kick the bucket there will not be any #!*&! to tell people to drag my corpse all over town like I’m some kind of a freak show or a zoo on wheels. Uh uh! not me.
strange things under the sun.
Politicians beg poor citizens for votes to make them kings. Once they are made kings they completely forget about the poor.
When the poor fall sick they end up dying like chickens, often in numbers and their lives are left to God’s grace.
Not so with politicians who are made kings by the poor, their lives are so important that they are provided with the best facilities the world can offer.
Hypocrisy is the order of the day!
That is why they say karma is a _____. I’m not sure if I can utter that word here, but it’s that word that means a female dog. And as long as we are doing quotes, here is another appropriate on for the occasion. The higher the climb the harder the fall. And yet another quote. The thing that comes to bite you in the buttocks on an idle Tuesday afternoon is the thing you least expected.
wow, too many unmentionables on this site. The fact of the matter is that we all have our backsides. Why can’t we have a word for it?
Zambia where a corpse is respected. Even goes to state house with armed soldiers
Just thinking, when does the interview with our God begin?
The way I understand it the sequence of events go like this. You breathe your final breath and the wheels are set in motion. The designated messengers of death enter your dead body and snatch your soul. You are immediately whisked through space at supersonic speed until you finally find yourself in front at the man himself. Long beard, big throne and everything. And in his thundering voice he orders you to account for your life. You can’t lie because you are dead so you tell the truth from A to Z. As you spill your guts you see two graphs. One for good deeds and the other for all your misdeeds. The two graphs alternate in rising. After you conclude your tale, you are given marching orders depending on which graph rose higher. Heaven or hell. Game over.
jayjay, wanzelu and others with slow punctured brains, you are indeed bana bamu vigololo abamu buchende. Your thinking is so warped i wonder why your mothers wasted so much energy vomiting you thru their panama canals. No sane human beings can have such filthy thinking.
If you never noticed ,all these guys are Tongas.poligamy mentality ,they are taught to hate Children from the other woman their siblings and as such can never respect any one in society.
@iwe ka fake tony blair
Wanya akachito ba PF bakupele kalapwa as soon a new president is sworn in.
I mean neither to sound superstitious nor callous but you got to feel sorry for the next guy who will occupy plot1. He will be imagining being chased by ghosts and all sorts of spooks. And the ghosts will probably be vulgar as hell,, shouting profanity in Bemba. And if that guy has young kids those poor kids will need a psychiatrist. Or maybe just a ng’anga.
When KK’s govt said that Zambia was the real Africa, they were right. Zambia is a primitive nation. why take the body to state house as if that is Sata’s personal house. they should have taken him to a funeral parlour. Sata’s decomposed body is no different from other dead people. You are just taking unholy ghosts there and the new president will be bringing witchdoctors to cleanse the place like Sata did.
