Zambians gathered at the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Embassy Park to commemorate the 10th memorial anniversary of the late His Excellency, Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata, the fifth President of the Republic of Zambia, who passed away on October 28, 2014.
President Hakainde Hichilema led the memorial service, expressing the government’s gratitude to the Sata family for their support in organizing a ceremony that honors the late President’s memory.
“We are deeply grateful to the Sata family for allowing us, as a government, to honor his memory with a befitting memorial service,” President Hichilema said.
The President emphasized that his administration is committed to advancing national development, building on the foundations laid by past leaders, including President Sata.
“There is a time for everything, and today is a time to celebrate, reflect, and remember President Sata’s legacy and his efforts to improve the lives of our people,” he remarked during the commemoration.
Attendees at the event included government officials, family members, friends, and citizens, all reflecting on the impact of President Sata’s leadership and his dedication to improving the nation.
The service concluded with prayers for peace and unity, with President Hichilema offering heartfelt words of remembrance: “May the soul of our former President rest in eternal peace.”
Why Hebrew writing in Sata’s ‘house’? Anyways, good to see that the government organized function was well attended. May God continue to rest Sata’s soul.
Others gathered at the cathedral of the child Jesus’s others at the Anglican cathedral. Both were prayers, there is no issue here, let us focus on real issues. Memorials can be everywhere and it does not even require presence of family members to be called a memorial, a memorial is a memorial. Let’s move on
What impressed me was the MEDALS they appeared to be dished out like conffetti
The red tie worries me
We had a memorial in Mpika, another one in Lundazi, other ones elsewhere,there was another one at the cathedral of the Holy Cross, another one at the cathedral of the child Jesus, others in some homes, that is the way it ought to be. No issue here. Let us focus on improving people’s lives now

He installed lungu on Zambians, the results we are still feeling today………
About these costly memorials, will we be doing it 5 times a year ???
What’s the fuss…..???
The only explanation is the PF clique wanted to use this memorial to stage the father of all comebacks , use it as a massive political rallying cry………but GRZ dampened their expectations……….
Forwadee 2031……
Loadsheding…high cost of living…high cost of doing business…..that’s what we should be fighting ….not fighting over memorial service…no wonder we can’t develop…we spend our time fighting over things that don’t make sense

BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit the nail on the head
Will some heed NEVER
The worst president Zambia has had, caused mass corruption reverbrating today, causing confusion even in death. Chama people to Lundazi denied a tarmark road because they voted for Chifumu Banda of FDD. What a shameful attitude from a president of the whole Zambia minus that region. Awe, we are in a nother reign – God is great.
I agree……..
Sata officially introduced pangas into zambian politics………
He was so drunk with power , he moved RDA to statehouse……..
And put an cader, Willy nsanda in charge…….
Nsanda was so overwhelmed with stealing he even had a heart attack surrounded by suitcases full of money………
Satas legacy is an unsatible appetite for political violence and borrowing………
He truly thought zambia had inexhaustible capacity to borrow…….it was mana from heaven to him……
Forwadee 2031…..
………
The only reason Satas memorial is such a fuss is……….
The cliques tribal supremacists wanted to use this event as a mass staging event for the father of all comebacks………..
There will be no better opportunity for PF , using peoples grief with religious gatherings to try to arouse mass support, especially with hardships brought by load shedding………
Unfortunately GRZ made it an event for Zambians, since he was once president not only PF………
Its like some people wanted Zambians to forget about working and only concentrate on the late Mr Sata…….
Forwardee 2031……..
