Confirming the development to Journalists in Lusaka this morning, acting patriotic front president Given Lubinda described the death of Mr. Ngulube as a huge loss to the party and his friends.
Mr Lubinda said they the former ruling party was scheduled to have a meeting this morning, but after being informed about the death of Mr Ngulube, the party decided to cancel the meeting in hour of Mr Nguulube who was described as the party’s dear friend, a good lawyer and hard-working colleague.
Mr Lubinda said the funeral proceedings will take place in Kabwe at his family residence and all the members of thePF central committee will be travelling to Kabwe to join the family in mourning Mr Ngulube.
Tutwa was born on 12th April, 1979 at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka from Onesmus Sandani Ngulube and Miriam Tivwale Mtonga Ngulube.
He did his primary education at Woodlands A primary school and went to a Choma secondary school as a boarder where he completed his secondary education in 1997. Tutwa is married to Glendah Sokontwe Ngulube and together have five beautiful children.
In 1999, he enrolled at the University of Zambia (UNZA) and graduated in 2004 with bachelor’s degree in law. In 2002 while studying at UNZA, Tutwa started working for Legal Resources Foundation.
After graduating as a law student in 2004, the foundation sponsored him to Zambia Institute of Advance Legal Education (ZIALE). He came back in 2007 and was admitted to the bar to practice law as a legal practitioner.
Between 2005 and 2007, Tutwa enrolled at the American University in Cairo Egypt for a short course in Human Rights.
While working with Legal Resources Foundation, Tutwa had a privilege of working with nongovernmental organizations among them Women in Law Southern Africa (WILSA) and Women in Law Development Africa (WILDAF).
Working with WILSA and WILDAF gave Tutwa an opportunity of training paralegals and offering Human Rights courses.
In 2006, Legal Resources Foundation transferred him to Kabwe to be in charge of the Kabwe office where he took over from Abram Mwansa who is now solistor general.
Tutwa Ngulube’s political career started when he was a law student at UNZA having served as a Law Association secretary general. He also vied for UNZA student Union vice president.
It was during this time that he joined the Forum for Development and Democracy (FDD) under the leadership of Lieutenant General, Christon Tembo and Major Richard Kachingwe.
Coming from a humble background, Tutwa decided to join politics to offer a service and add color to politics by being himself.
He noticed that most of the elected leaders always abandoned their people and failed to criticize leadership by running away from the truth.
Tutwa was one of the most influential youths of Kabwata who managed to elect Major Richard Kachingwe as the first FDD MP for Kabwata constituency.
He and his colleagues among them Antonio Mwanza who is currently PF media deputy director worked very hard as UNZA students during the time FDD swept almost all the parliamentary seats in Lusaka.
At that time, Tutwa and his colleagues despite being students were very instrumental in politics.
In 2004 Tutwa joined the Patriotic Front (PF) when the FDD lost director after the death of its founder General Tembo and worked very closely with the late President Michael Chilufya Sata.
At this time he had already graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law from UNZA.
When the late President Mr Sata decided to stand in 2006, Tutwa and his colleagues managed to gunner a lot of support and votes for Mr Sata and the PF party.
When Mr Sata contested in the Presidential by-elections in 2008, Tutwa and his friends were very confident he “Mr Sata” would actually win the elections.
Tutwa had an opportunity to represent Mr Sata as a lawyer when he came face to face with the courts of law as leader of the strongest opposition political part at the time. As one of the people that worked closely with Mr Sata, Tutwa knew the late President to be a very honest man who inspired him and his colleagues in politics.
Mr Sata’s honest gave Tutwa a lot of courage and its this boldness that makes him speak the truth. In some cases his honesty has made him come in conflict his own party, the PF. At this time he had already graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law from UNZA.

A politician who stood for the truth, reputable lawyer and a businessman, Tutwa Sandani Ngulube was a force to reckon with to many young people and emerging politicians in the country.
What a loss of a young vibrant life, indeed the Tutwa will be really missed by many. He was an uprising figure that has left this life at such a tender age. MHSRIP
Be a nice person every single day guyz. And Nakachinda is still alive, life is unfair.
Tutwa ali uwatumpa umwaiche, but was friendly.
It should have been that dirty guy with binoculars dying, chi Raphael thing.
Sad news, sincere condolences to the bereaved family. MHSRIP
A life taken so young. Condolences to the family. This should be a reminder to all of us that there is but a step between us and death and whatever we do or say should be seasoned with salt to give grace to those who interact with and hear us. Politics is not all there is to life. Be tender hearted to oneanaother, forgiving one another even as God forgave you in Christ.
Sad at your loss honourable.
Sure Loss to the legal fraternities
Taken too soon. Truly sad.
Has KZ travelled to kabwe or he is still in detention
Why do you like to encourage stupidity on here? Dont you have better things to do online…there are millions of informative videos on YouTube to ulitilise your precious bundles on!!
I am in mourning and will respond to you when the time is right. I am doing fine and my whereabouts are not more important than mourning our own brother. Let us respect the departed.
OF COURSE HE WILL TRAVEL TO KABWE
HE IS EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE
Tutwa Ngulube its that boy…anyway in life its important to be nice to everyone…where are the corrupt companies and corrupt politicians going to hire to represent them in court.
You mother faka
Thank you for yor contribution today now switch to the PF cadre in UK alias!!
Rest In Peace mukwasu, thank you for allowing us to differ on principle.
A principle is a rule, a law, a guideline, or a fact….these chaps like Tutwa didnt go by any principles even though he was a lawyer he was on record for stating that he will crash the opposition. Why do we pretend to love people when they pass away who are you cheating, of couse apart from his family only the thieves like HoneyBee and corupt Politicians will miss this boy’s services.
Was he a PF member ? Condolences to his family even though PF killed many Zambians with misrule,thievery and high debts.
Why God did not just take KZ instead of this one.
Sichalwe do not worry, your ugly mother and father are next
Well said comrade Sichalwe .
UPND IS WORSER THEN PF
Good people are going just remaining with rubish people like KZ.
Tutwa Ngulube was a friendly guy.We where neighbours at many places.Heartfelt condolences to Glendah and the kids
“……..A politician who stood for the truth, reputable lawyer and a businessman, Tutwa Sandani Ngulube was a force……”
MHSRIP……….
But he was none of the above………..
So true Death somehow turns all to saints
What nonsense is this? let the ***** die very stuborn useless chap. Many many Zambians died because of these chaps and no one wrote about it in newspapers, these were murderers together with Tayali Chilufya, Jay Jay Banda, Kaizer Zulu etc. They must just die fullstop!
Son of a beech you will die before me. Mark my words your death will happen on 23 December road accident
RIP STATE CONCIL babana bamashilu aba they will follow you sooner than expected
Zambia is suffering today because of these thieves , since when is it sad when one thief dies? Since when? Him and KBF should have died a long time ago – they secured the Edgar Chagwa Lungu victory in Kabwe at the expense of Innocent. Had GBM, Miles Sampa or Christine Kaseba won those elections , Zambia wouldnt have suffered this much in the last ten years, People wudnt ve died the way they did. Let the bugger go and die in hell also. mxm, nonsense!
Really laughable you think a bully, Tenderpreuer and street thug like GBM would have made good President…as for Miles Sampa as President he is a coward only good at womanising and fathering armies of kids. Christine Kaseba isnt savvy enough to lead …this is a woman who is still working in Paris at the embassy if she had any brains she would have been contesting for PF Presidency
I wouldn’t disagree with Esther’s deeply cutting but true sentiments above.Truth must be told.
Harsh Words Esther
But a lot of truth to your understanding, Others just blog regardless of the persons character
Some sympathy for his family who had no control over him
RIP
The young man has been cleared……..
We do not celebrate the loss of any life. However, we must not make a hero of bottom feeders merely because they are dead. Tutwa Ngulube like his colleague Lusambo was a very stupid and violent boy and he will not be missed by all. May he rot in hell. I am pleased,
Jesus, King of Israel, come back !
my heartfelt condolences to the family
my heartfelt condolences to the family. may the good lord comfort the family.
