Chelo, YOU are very funny indeed. The few votes he used to get were coming from all of us sympathizers here. He was a wonderful man, full of life and jokes, at some point he even adopted himself as MP for kanyama constituency meanwhile a president of the part as well. We will meet again Ken. Love you always papa and May your soul rest in internal peace.

When the founder of the political part dies, then It means even the Party has died. So APCP can also rest.

The Ngondo Family, though some of us may not be with you physically during this trying period, we are still share the loss of the passing of Mr Ngondo. Having know him personally I found that he was an easy going person ready to make friends across ages, tribes, races etc, and above all was a man of the people on top of being a very generous person. May his soul rest in peace.

MHSRIP He was a nationalist and a fighter beyond recognition. He even fought to have the by elections in Chilanga and Mpulungu be changed from a saturday to pave way for our adventist brothers to Vote. He supported RB to be in office even though he belonged to another party, he stood for a by election in Kanyama as MP even though he was state house material, eh..his achievements are endless, but i did not hear about his sickness, what happened…Eh How is Katele Kalumba doing?

I agree with Chelo. Death is always sad. But this cultural hypocrisy should also stop. Being a good, national leader and so forth, state funeral etc may be far fetched, The man was a clown and may his clown spirit and soul rest in peace.

Cheelo, out of 12million people, the ten writers excluding yourself are showing sympathy. These may have been the friends of Mr Ngondo. So let us not be that harsh, rather give us your comments. The late Mr Ngondo was a nationalist, even those of us who thought that other manifestos were better agree that in his life, he contributed to Zambia. Take it easy and insult him if that is your position other than attacking the views of the rest of the nation

Hypocrites. Stop praising him now that he is dead. Didn’t you call him a clown and fool when he was alive? Good leader, good leader, why didn’t you vote for him?

He was a good leader, honest and hard working. This man despite being a political party president was seen working his land as a farmer. May Jehovah God comfort the grieving widow and family MHSRIP.

I am saddened. Never heard of his illness. Death is so cruel and an enemy of humanity.
May God strengthen and comfort his family.
