Kambwili pens down tribute to late brothers
FORMER Cabinet Minister and Roan Member of Parliament, Chishimba Kambwili, is grappling with profound grief after the loss of his two brothers, Mutale and Mwamba Kambwili, in a road accident.

While Kambwili, his lawyer, and driver survived with injuries, Mutale and Mwamba lost their lives instantly.
Recovering from his hospital bed, an emotional Kambwili described the pain of losing both brothers as unbearable via his social media.
“To lose a brother is one thing, but to lose two brothers at the same time is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. My brothers were peaceful people who lived a life of Christ, and they stood by me through thick and thin,” he said.
The former lawmaker, expressed deep sorrow over not being able to physically attend their funerals due to his injuries.
Kambwili paid tribute to his elder brother, Mutale, who he described as both his protector and best friend.
“Mutale and I did everything together. He was always by my side, ensuring no one stepped on me or belittled me. A part of me has died with my brother, but I find strength in the beautiful memories we created,” Kambwili wrote.
He revealed that Mutale, a pastor, had only joined him on the trip because of his deep love and concern, despite having been advised to stay behind.
“Mutale died a hero, a brave man who loved his brother. He always told me, ‘Chishimba, it will always be me and you.’ I never imagined those words would become a reality in this way.” shared Kambwili.
Kambwili also spoke tenderly of his younger brother, Mwamba, whom he described as calm, collected, and unwavering in his support.
“Mwamba’s only crime was his desire to be there for me,” Kambwili said.
“He was always by my side during my most difficult times, whether I was sick, in court, or even incarcerated. He was an innocent soul, and his loss is incredibly painful.”
The former minister reflected on the close relationship he shared with his brothers, recalling the peace and love that characterised their bond.
“I never had an argument with Mwamba. He was an angel, always standing by my side in my darkest days,” Kambwili said, adding that he is committed to supporting the families his brothers left behind.
As he continues to recover from his injuries, Kambwili expressed deep sorrow over the “unfair” and untimely deaths of his brothers, vowing to seek solace in his faith.
