Betty Kaunda to be buried in Lusaka

But there is still strong resistance to the change from their volatile eldest son, Lieutenant Colonel Panji Kaunda, who continues to insist that burial should be at Lubwa Mission in Chinsali District.

Mama Betty, as she was affectionately known, died in Harare on September 19 and was due to be buried in Chinsali last Sunday. Her body was already in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross for a requiem service on Saturday when Dr Kaunda was taken ill and hospitalised.
