Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Banda family \u201cbans\u201d powder, white substance at house of mourning IN a fond tribal cousin-ship expression, the family of late President Rupiah Banda has directed that there should be no white power or substances at the funeral house.<\/p>\n

Family spokesperson Fisho Mwale gave the \u2018directive\u2019 this afternoon when addressing the media who asked him how far the traditional cousin-ship extends between the Easterners and Northerners in light of the death of Mr Banda, who hailed from the East.<\/p>\n

Following the death of Mr Banda, the Northerners have vowed to \u2018dress and smear\u2019 their tribal cousins, the Easterners, with white power as part of mourning.<\/p>\n

But in jest, Mr Mwale directed that no power or white substance will be allowed at Belvedere lodge, the funeral house for the late President, who fondly joked with Northerners including late President Michael Sata.<\/p>\n

\u201cNapapata, nipempa, [I am pleading with you Northerners] if they start throwing power at me, how will i do my job[as family spokesperson]?\u201d, Mr Mwale said.<\/p>\n

Tribal cousin-ship has been Zambia\u2019s national unity glue since records began. It is \u2018breathed and lived\u2019 at our markets, in the workplace, in school, on public transport, radio and television, everywhere. Credit: Zambia Daily Mail<\/p>\n
