Dr Matandiko
Photographers jostling to take the last images of Dr Matandiko in his casket after the funeral service.I have decided to add more images from Dr matandiko's funeral owing to the numerous requests that have besieged me, especially from the Zambian community in the dispora.
I am quite humbled by the response and especially requests because they highlight the kind of man Dr Matandiko was.
I thought I should response favourably to the resquests because I take them to be my humble contribution to Dr Matandiko's works- serving humanity.
I would like to salute all the people that have visited my website and shall ever remain indebted to them.
HAMBA KAHLE DR MATANDIKO.
Best regards

Matandiko's daughters

Dr Matandiko died on wednesday last week. Dr Matandiko has been described as an influencial man of God who loved God. During the fuenral service, which was characterised by sobbing women, men and youths, several speakers said Dr matandiko's demise would be hard to absorb.
Dr Matandiko was a popular speaker in his church and on fora such as on Zambia's public national broadcaster ZNBC, where he presented a religious programme 'Voice of Prophecy'. On this programme, Dr Matandiko's preaching prowess transformed many people's lives both with and across the boundaries of Zambia. He knew the Bible better than he knew the back of his hand. He was an eloquent speaker, who talked about God's kind ways. He would be remembered for many religious speeches such the 'PRAY', which he presented several years ago, but it still continues to change people's attitudes towards God. First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa, Health minister Dr Brian Chituwo, first Zambian president Dr Kenneth Kaunda and many other notable people were present at the funeral service. Dr Matandiko's funeral service was earlier earmarked for the SDA church in the suburbs of Lusaka's Libala twosnhip, but the large number of people from different parts of Zambia forced the church elders to move the venue to the show grounds, where the stadium terraces and every available spaces where packed to the brim. A somber atmosphere characterised the mood of the people and this crowd was often sent into tears by various speakers and singers who eulogised Dr Matandiko.
One such speaker was US based Dr Pardon Mwansa who said Dr Matandiko's life history was hard to prsent because he did so many things. He said if this history was to be written, then that book would be bulky. He said Dr Matandiko travelled round the world spreading the word and that was why many people were crying.
Dr Mwansa, whose speech was interrupted by sobs eulogised Dr Matandiko as a pillar that the SDA church would find hard to move without.
May his soul rest in peace.
