Legal fraternity urged to emulate Justice SILUNGWE

By Ruth Chayinda

President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has called on Zambians to learn from the life of Justice ANNEL SILUNGWE who was diligent and professional as he carried out his mandate of delivering justice.

President HICHILEMA says Justice SILUNGWE’s legacy of timely delivery of justice should be emulated by the legal fraternity.

He says it is saddening that some people have not had justice availed to them for over 20 years.

Speaking during the official funeral of former Chief Justice, President HICHILEMA stressed that the late Justice SILUNGWE’s life should serve as a lesson to all citizens as it depicts one of diligent service and impartiality.

And Namibia’s Chief Justice PETER SHIVUTE said the late Justice SILUNGWE’s contribution to the legal landscape extends beyond Zambia.

Justice SHIVUTE said the judiciary will continue to celebrate Justice SILUNGWE for his remarkable contribution made to the sector in Namibia.

Meanwhile, Justice SILUNGWE’s family described him as a cornerstone of the family whose legacy will be upheld as he leaves an indelible mark in the lives of many.

And Miracle Life Family Church, Pastor WALKER SCHURZ encouraged the family to seek solace in God during this difficult time.
