Family members, friends and government colleagues gathered at Munakombwe Farm in Lusaka to lay to rest Mr Bweendo Kapopwe, a Registry Clerk in the Ministry of Information and Media who served in the department until his untimely death.

Permanent Secretary Thabo Kawana, who led the ministry’s delegation to the burial, described the day as somber and said Mr Kapopwe’s diligence had left an indelible mark on the ministry’s daily operations.

A public servant remembered

In his tribute, Mr Kawana said the ministry remembered Mr Kapopwe not simply as a staff member but as a dependable professional who carried out his duties with unwavering commitment and a pleasant spirit.

Registry clerks occupy an unglamorous but load-bearing position in any government ministry. They control the flow of correspondence, file and retrieve records, and keep the paper trail that underpins decisions made at every level. When the work is done well, it rarely draws attention, which is precisely why colleagues notice its absence.

Mr Kawana said the vacuum left by Mr Kapopwe’s departure is deeply felt across the ministry, and that the thoughts and prayers of the institution remain with his family during this difficult period of mourning.

Support for the family

The ministry has assured the family of its continued support as they mourn. Mr Kapopwe is survived by family who were present at the burial, alongside friends and colleagues from the information and media sector.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
