Vice President Inonge Wina has led scores of people in mourning late Zambia’s High Commissioner to Kenya Brenda Muntemba Sichilembe at the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Lusaka.
Several people who included family, friends and workmates described Mrs Sichilembe as a selfless, humble, and devoted Christian who wanted to help humanity.
Meanwhile, widower Reverend Sulanji Sichilembe said Brenda Muntemba foundation will be created in honour of his wife.
Reverend Sichilembe said this is to ensure that his wife’s legacy of helping the less privileged in society lives on.
Her children Mwango Kondolo and Lukundo Nachilembe described their mother as one that loved God.
Earlier, family representative, retired Lieutenant General Reverend Ronnie Shikapwasha said Mrs Sichilembe was passionate about God’s work.
And head of African Diplomatic Missions in Kenya Beyene Russon said Mrs Sichilembe was a hard-working diplomat.
Ambassador Russon, who is also ambassador Eritrea to Kenya said Mrs Sichilembe will be missed among her peers.
President Edgar Lungu has accorded the late Brenda Muntemba Sichilembe an official funeral.
She died in Kenya on March 19th, 2019.
Kenya killed our precious lady so I hope their govt sent representatives from Nairobi. Fare thee well Brenda Muntemba a dedicated servant of Zambia.
Rev. Sumaili looks good in holy clothes. So Brenda married a Reverend too? No wonder.
Go well Brenda, the true Lenje woman. Seriously no bad memories about her.
Inonge looks good too, thanks lady you are the true leader. But you should have gone and drag Ba Ester Lungu to go to funeral. She can’t keep hiding from the USA fire truck scandal. Ba Ester missed opportunity to apologize to the nation.
Maybe she too is thin from depression.
Ba Brenda was a remarkable woman. I hope the husband is an upstanding person not ukutampa eating in that honorable woman’s name and marrying the side chick.
Why does Lazy Lungu not attend funerals…happy to dance like a moron at PF rallies every day.
May Her Soul Rest In Peace
B R Mumba there is no soul jst say RIP
Ba LT, where is the husband in these photos?
Why are you not asking where Ba Edgar is?
I really don’t understand why he abandons funerals, especially for these middle age ladies. He is in Kafue campaigning, at Victoria funeral he took off too.
There are very few cops who are dedicated Christians. Most of them are just corrupt
The irony is that Christianity itself is worst than corruption …you have to study its history
And satanists also.
They are smart enough to understand that Christianity is a fallacy which should not be entertained if you want to enjoy life!
Which smart cop would believe a novel that has no dates in it and is written in third person…you think Christianity was brought to you on a silver plate; male slaves were raped by their christian masters to break them in-front of their wives and children.
Go and read Exodus 21:20-21 New International Version (NIV)

Go and read that verse in your bible!!
Who was the husband? And what does he do? Hope is not one of the junks around.
Just mind your own business, he’s status is non of your business. let go of poverty mentality.

Please read before you Comment “Bigman, abakamba”.
@4 Bigman, abakamba; This is why they say that if you want to hide information from a black man, put it in writing.
Sometimes, it’s better to keep quiet than attracting unnecessary attention.
Do not use her name to form ka NGO for syphoning money from Donors. Why did you not form one before she died?
All these pictures are totally unnecessary: Govt Thieves and Amos Chanda. It would have been better to show us the family: husband and children.
when this tragedy happened, I posed a question here on lt…why was she travelling by road Mombasa to Nairobi? I guess it’s now more like a rhetorical question. will find out from the guys at the embassy
that’s a very busy and dangerous. I’ve been on that road a couple of times, very dangerous even during the day, there are a lot of 18 wheelers/trucks from the port.
I’ve been on that road too and the traffic jams are epic stretching for miles.True its a risky road with long distance buses and trucks driving like maniacs.
It could be she wanted to explore more the region. You know how our late sister was.
@ Nostradamus. I think you may be attacking President Lungu too much. You may need to understand government protocol. An Ambassador is at a level of a Director at a Ministry. I’m not demeaning any. How many funerals will the President be attending? May be the question should have been where is was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Hon Victoria Kalima was a Cabinet Minister. I feel you are insuniating tribalism. That is not the way to go. Just my thoughts.
how about all these stupid little projects that he’s always attending/commissioning? why doesn’t he delegate to respective ministries? don’t you see something fishy? every little ka bridge or building or so called toll gate, he’s the one commissioning, why?
I do not know why? Please I’m not trying to defend The President. He has people paid to defend him. I’m talking about a State Funeral. Why do others get three days? The pronlem we may discover is that actually it is Technocrats not politicians. Are you aware that only The President, The Vice and Visiting Dignatories are entiltled to motorised escort? Why now even Service Chiefs have? Read the Cabinet Handbook if ever you will find it.
Today Brenda Muntemba is Mrs Sichilembe? It’s like they married post humously, or the Muntemba name was too strong to die away with marriage.
Sorry you trib.als, unlike you trib.als I mean well, I have always respected ba Brenda. Go well madam, MYSRIEP. Sad that you have left us with trib.als, the lowest end of human form.
Rest in peace Brenda Muntemba our Zambia has lost a great leader in you. Kenya needs to pay compensation for wrongful death.

I’m also surprised that they did not show the widower Rev.Sichilembe.They just captured these hypocrites looking so humble in the House of God.
Another dedicated indigenous Zambian from central province is gone,just like LPM. Have your noticed that some of them men and women from other provinces like eastern & northern serving the country in key positions have no heart for mother Zambia?
They should have shown the husband and children instead of Amos and the
Rest.The president should have attended
As he is seen in other small functions.
3.1 Jay Jay it is clear from your posting that you don’t understand the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to term christianity as corrupt.
I dont understand folly…I mean where in the bible are my ancestors mentioned or any place in Africa not even the great pyramids are mentioned yet their existence predates Christianity.
Jay Jay needs a very serious mental state scrutiny. This is Zambia my guy. If you come from middle East I can bet you not near Israel.
Who needs mental scrutiny? One that believes in fiction writen in third person tense and one that doesn’t.
Instead of bickering and becoming political for nothing, we should just give commiserations to Mrs Muntemba Sichilemba. Leave the husband the right reverend Sichilembe and her family out of this. May my adopted sister’s soul rest in peace.
