Some foreign Heads of States and governments who were in the country to pay their last respects to late first President Kenneth Kaunda have left the country.

The first to leave was Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo who left at 16:00 hours local time.

Next was Namibian President Hage Geingob whose plane took off from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport at 16:08 hours.

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi left the country at 16:43 hours, who was followed by President Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi 16:50 hours.

Later South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa and Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi also left for their respective countries.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, former President of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete also flew out for their respective destinations, minutes later.

During the state funeral held at Lusaka show grounds, the heads of state eulogized Dr Kaunda for the pivotal role he played in helping liberate the African Continent from colonial rule.

Born in 1924, Dr Kaunda ruled Zambia from 1964 to 1991, and died at Maina Soko Medical Centre in Lusaka on June 17, 2021.

He will be put to rest at the presidential burial site on July 7, 2021.

  1. Thanks to our fellow pan Africanists for blessing with their presence. Good riddance to hh. We didn’t want cadres there causing trouble and leading to death of innocent mourners. Even in a home when you have important visitors you ensure that the naughty dog is kept away.

  4. Chaba – You are looking at issues in present …there is a political history between those countries that spans decades back some not good and some good.

  5. Nobody mentions the very low number of heads of state showing up. Nobody from the European Union: they don’t want to be associated with Edgar China Lungu, the most CORRUPT African leader!

  9. KZ@1, HH WAS NOT LEFT OUT. HE WAS INVITED, I READ SOMEWHERE BUT HE DECIDED NOT TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL. I THINK NIKA EGO KA KUDALA KAMENE KAMUVUTO UNDER 5. SOME CHAP PASSED ROUND A VIDEO AND AN INVITATION CARD FOR HH. HOWEVER, HE DECIDED TO STAY HOME. MAYBE IT WAS GOOD THAT HE STAYED HOME. OTHERWISE HIS CADRES WOULD HAVE CAUSED TROUBLE IN ORDER TO EMBARASS US.

  10. A persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury.
    Let this generation not defined by that. It’s time for this generation to forge its on new Direction, we think this generation paid four the past and it’s time to give it tools to forge it’s on direction. Have understanding and let it tell its on story. Think about it; copper brought us to Copperbelt for better life. Not to fight injustice.

  11. “Heads of State and govt. fly back home after attending KK’s funeral …” Curious headline. Is that news? Where else were they supposed to go?
