THE remains of former Kabwe Central Member of Parliament (MP) and lawyer Tutwa Ngulube will today be laid to rest at Saint Mary’s Cemetery.
Mr. Ngulube, who died in Lusaka on Saturday after a short illness, will be buried after 11:30 but before that, mourners will gather at the funeral house at 08:00 before his body is moved to the High Court for the valedictory service since he was a lawyer.
From the High Court, his body will then depart for the United Church of Zambia (UCZ’s) St. Mark’s Congregation, Kabwe South Consistory at 09:30 and expected to be at church by 10:00 where the church service will be conducted before departing for burial.
The body of Mr. Ngulube was taken to Kabwe from Lusaka yesterday.
The death of Mr. Ngulube, who was also Patriotic Front (PF) Member of the Central Committee (MCC), shocked many as he was active on social media, hours before he was confirmed dead.
He has been described by many as a gallant and fearless politician who contributed immensely not only to his political party, but to the National Assembly and more so, to the people of Kabwe who he represented as MP until last year when he lost his re-election bid.
Commenting on his death, former president Edgar Lungu said the country has lost a promising politician, an astute lawyer, and a family man who had so much more to offer to the country and that he was such a courageous young man, hardworking and dependable and always there for party tasks and above all, national matters.
And President Hakainde Hichilema described Mr. Ngulube as a vibrant and dedicated member of the opposition Patriotic Front and wished the PF and the Ngulube family God’s enduring comfort as they go through this difficult time.
