Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Dr. Chileshe Mulenga has died.
Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Simon Miti has confirmed Dr Chileshe’s death.
“The Government of the Republic of Zambia regrets to announce the sudden death of Dr Chileshe Mulenga, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs who died in Lusaka this morning, Sunday, 12th July, 2020,” Dr Miti said.
President Edgar Lungu has expressed shock on this sudden sad development and has conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family.
Dr Mulenga was well until this morning when he developed some sudden health complications and was rushed to the Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The funeral is being held at his residence Plot No. 11015 Off Munali Road, Lusaka.
“However, attendance at the funeral house has been restricted to close family members in observance of public health restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Government will issue further details on the funeral programme at a later stage,” Dr Miti said.
This is very sad news for the country. He was such a great son of the soil. You served the zambian people well and for that we are forever grateful. Serving in public office is a privilege, and something some people will never experience, like HH
A wrong one died in Home Affairs. Was is against the idea of PF campaigning in his prisons? Why such a sudden death?
Why do many sudden deaths?? Every week someone prominent is dying. I just hope it’s not CV 19.
Nkhani yamutoto na sidechic story izibika.
We can’t get the truth with the outbreak of PF campaigns and PF protests. Rest In Peace Sir.
That’s very sad for his surviving relatives. Am sure they were very proud of this learned man. His window Mrs mulenga is the chairperson of NGOCC. Now you know why the Organization has failed to take its role of demanding accountability from government. They were married to the same government. Now am sure madam mulenga will do her job freely and effectively, although we do regret his death.
Sunta you will die soon and I hope your ugly family follow you too. You disrespectful little creep
You’re right mwana. Nafyumfwika ati uyu mudala ali “SOMEWHERE”!!!!!
Zambian government today its only Chilufya, Mulenga, Bwalya, Kampyongo, Mwila, Mwape, Lusambo, Sampa, Ngosa, Chanda, Chipampe, mumbi, Kabanshi, nkandu, and a few Phiri/ Lungu’s. This is daylight tribalism. And i wont feel for this Dead Mulenga(its good riddance of the Bembalization of our government).
How old was he? Could be cardio related.
Rest in peace Mulenga , but there’s no tribalism in heaven .
So was Chela Tukuta right?
Was Chela Tukuta right?
KZ,U LIKE TALKING ILL OF HH WHAT WRONG HAS HE DONE?CZ,HE HAS JUST REFUSED TO ACCEPT YOUR STUPIDITY.THEY IS SOMETHING WRONG IN YOUR MIND.U NEED A SERIOUS MENTAL CHECK UP.AND YOU WILL CRY THE DAY WHEN GOD WILL GIVE A FAVOUR TO HH.BOSS,AKALILANTA KENU IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
What an embarrassing death. Dying on top of a journalist. I feel for the wife. How is she going to mourn?
That comment was meant for Martin. I apologised and said t was meant for him. Lusakatimes have deleted both my apology and Martin’s abhorrent comment to suit their narrative. Wrangling you are a pillock. Please stop obsessing about me. Are you gay
We hear That he died in the lodge with another woman,RIP
@wangling ignore KZ, he is an uneducated cadre with brains only in his manhood.
I mourn his passing. He was trying his best to do good in government under a difficult environment. My condolences to Mrs Mary Mulenga.
It is inappropriate for people here to be spewing out hearsay on the possible cause of Dr. Chileshe Mulenga’s death. Dr. Mulenga has a beloved family and friends who deserve some measure of respect. Even white people show greater respect in times like this to the bereaved family unlike Africans on this site who appear to be morally insensitive to Dr. Mulenga’s beloved family and friends. Put yourself in the position of Dr. Mulenga’s beloved family and friends and ask yourself if you would want somebody to say these things to you in your moment of losing a loved one. Let us learn to be human!

MHSRIP. Death is death and comes for all.
If you are over 50 years dont forget to do a Complete blood count every year.
Patriotic zambian that is what your wife said too about my manhood
Are you sure boss…..hope not..MHSRIP
At least he was always on top of things unlike other technocrats – no pun intended.
He was 60 years old and former UNZA lecturer before PF came into power. I understand he was one of the architects of PF manifesto. Sad to lose one of the competent PS’s unlike the majority pf cadres serving as Permanent Secretaries. MHSRIP
aBemba muchenjele ka, ambuya anu aNyanja are tired of you stealing and sampling their wives. Chiluba stole Regina from aMwanza, manja naiwe Mulenga was busy enjoying Esnart Ngoma knowing only too well that ni mukazi wamzako. Kunya, aNgoma anafaka ko kaleza and padlock, waona manje lelo wafwaa chi.kala iwe. Nyoo, ulukehile lihule tuwe. Ki kuswabisa kuyo shwela mwa nyo ya musala mutu.
Sinamunungu se kwaku swabisa, kocokokocoko si somaka musala mutu konji pilu kusi timela sisali ku kengama mwa nyo ya Esnart Ngoma. Nyoo, u lukehile.
Bembas like illegally sleeping with and stealing wives of their mbuyas, it started with Chiluba stealing Regina from aMwanza. Mulenga wanted to continue the stinking tradition but aNgoma just won’t condone Mulenga sampling his pot of honey ya kumawa so wired the fool. Stay na akazi anu like Nkandu Luo, ala.
If it’s true, the death is suspicious. Police need to investigate and eliminate the possibility of tempering with evidence in a corruption scandal. I hope you know what I mean.
