The burial ceremony attracted several notable figures, including Second Vice President Enock Chihana, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Ben Phiri, Members of Parliament and fellow traditional leaders. Speaking during the ceremony, Phiri urged the bereaved family to select a successor capable of providing effective leadership and representing the interests of the community. He said the successor should be a responsible leader committed to addressing the concerns of the people and promoting development in the area. “The person who will take over the chieftaincy should be someone who is committed to the welfare of the community and development,” he said.
