Mr. Miti said Ms. Nsingo served in various positions in the MMD government between 2002 and 2012 including that of Minister of Lands, Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, Community Development and Social Services and Works and Supply.

“Attendance to the funeral is restricted to close family members and selected senior governmental officials in line with the public health guidelines on preventing the spread of Covid-19,”he said.
He said government through Cabinet Office will release a detailed funeral programme for the Late Nsingo once burial arrangements have been finalized in consultation with the bereaved family.
This is according to a press statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Yet another Covid-19 victim, just like KK
RIP to a great son of the soil. At least you served your nation as a patriot rather than run away abroad to clean toilets like upnd diasporans.
By the way, to all upnd diasporans who have been saying that the increase in deaths is because we have failed to vaccinate people. For your information, when we procured the first batch many zambians were suspicious about the vaccines and decide to shun them. This is all because of the same f00Iish diasporans posting conspiracy theories about vaccines, which they themselves have taken there abroad. This meant that many vaccines went to waste and couldn’t be used. so upnd diasporans shut your ugly mouths before I mess your ugly faces up. You monkeys
Ba Zulu, son or daughter
Just tell the people the truth there is nothing to hide ..we all know that Maina Soko Medical Centre is a covid centre…there is no reason for him to referred to it if he didnt have covid unless he is a former military!!
You should try your best not to take ANYTHING trolls say seriously. NO matter how POORLY they behave, remember these people spend countless UNPRODUCTIVE hours trying to make people mad. They’re not WORTH your time of day.
I do not think it is necessary to mention that covid was the cause.
It is pretty much obvious that a lot of these deaths recently are due to covid.
Even if this is what took KK, so what?
The enemy here is covid. And the Panga Family, naturally.
Kaizer Zulu cannot read. Son of soil ?? for a woman? Next time what will you call Nkandu Luo? He-She??
Why they don’t disclose the sickness? People
All over the world are dying from corvid.So
No need to hide.Every country passes through a phase when corvid is at its peak.
Like what is happening in Zambia.
Moto – Every country does but in Zambia’s case that phase passed last year its only due to lack of leadership that this second wave has hit…the president is nowhere to be seen in the village. Can you imagine the captain of the aircraft disappearing when the aircraft is in a spin??
My sincere condolences amai and may your soul rest in peace. We treasure your contribution as a cabinet Minister in the MMD.
You can choose to concentrate on a trivial human error or get the important message from my comments. Grow up
Stop saying died after an illness. Just say what it is: covid. Why hide?
Great son. She was a woman ba KZ
