The Office of Zambia’s First President has refuted social media reports alleging that Dr Kenneth Kaunda has died.
Dr Kaunda’s Administrative Assistant Rodrick Ngolo said in a press statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka on Monday, that Zambia’s founding President is still very much alive.
Mr Ngolo said social media reports originating from West Africa are not true as Dr Kaunda is alive.
“We would like to inform all Zambians and the international community out there that Dr Kenneth Kaunda is fine and in good spirit” reads the statement.
Mr Ngolo regretted that people could condescend and wish an international statesman’s death.
“It is sad that some individuals can stoop so low to start spreading such despicable rumours” said Mr Ngolo.
The former President who is 96 will turn 97 on April 28, this year
Who cares, there are more important things in Zambia to worry about.
Why do you feel the need to answer social media gossip?
Just ignore them.
These are very sick individuals on social media. I can bet my life upnd diasporans are behind this. Remember how they kept announcing the death of mwananwasa and our late president even before they died.? These upnd d0gs thrive where there is death. Evil satanic morons
This lab tech can be sarcastic, anyway typical of the character. He has to speak for UPND all the time as if he is the spokesperson.
This is why hard copy media and journalists that support the industry need to be truthful. Only way to combact phony online news.
It’s good to hear that he’s doing well. May God continue to bless him.
News is about events not imagination. So whoever imagined and wrote that story is an idiooot!
Where is he kabili? Show us iwee!!!
Nfiti! mufuna ku loza ndani? Leave the old man alone ala!
Too many unengaged people seeking nothing but cheap popularity. Gutter bloggers most of them in Nigeria
We are still with the old man, he has to witness the inauguration of HH this year
Big Ken… Still strong and alive…
We thank God KK is well
Hang in there your almighty Super Kenny, you can’t be buried by these styupid idyots of PF. You deserve another 20 more years.
PF has never hold a dignified funeral, so many PF MPs, ministers and ex-ministers have kind of “thrown away”.
I will never forget at funeral of Victoria Kalima, that Edgar left on presidential jet with Findley to Zanzibar, leaving girl in coffin at Cathedraw of Holly Cross. Styupid idyots!!
That’s WONDERFUL! Long life to him!
As for these evil people spreading such news..tsk!
The old man is surely on the list of dignitaries at the swearing in of HH as Zambia’s 7th President
According to Tayali… HH will soon be in JAIL. This time he will be in Kasempa in the same cell the colonialists had kept the old man KK.
The big man is alive and well
Thank God that he is alive may God continue bless him
