Controversial socialite and popular prophet Passion Java has paid  tribute to Zambia’s founding president, Kenneth Kaunda who died at 97.

He took to Facebook to pass his condolences to the Kaunda family.

He posted pictures with the late Kaunda showing that the two knew each other really well.

Writing on Facebook Passion Java said:

“My Condolences to the KAUNDA Family and the whole of Africa..

“The Last Father President of Africa has gone to be with the lord.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.”

“Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell. RIP K.K.”

Kaunda was hospitalised early this week in Zambia suffering from pneumonia.
