Why the Litunga Does Not Attend Funerals

In the traditions and customs of Barotseland, the Litunga, the King of the Lozi people, does not attend funerals. This long-standing cultural practice is deeply rooted in the beliefs and values that define the institution of the monarchy.

The Litunga is regarded as a symbol of the continuity, unity, and prosperity of the Lozi nation. As the custodian of the kingdom and its traditions, he represents life, stability, and the future of the people. For this reason, the King is traditionally not associated with death, mourning, or burial ceremonies.

According to Lozi customs, individuals who visit mortuaries, attend funerals, or go to graveyards are considered to have come into contact with death. Such individuals are traditionally not permitted to appear before the Litunga until the arrival of a new moon, a period believed to signify renewal and purification.

When a prominent figure passes away or when representation is required at a funeral, the Litunga delegates the responsibility to senior Indunas, royal representatives, or a Prince from the royal family. These representatives attend on behalf of the King and the people of Barotseland, conveying condolences and paying respects while preserving the sacred customs of the kingdom.

This tradition highlights the unique role of the Litunga within Lozi society and reflects the deep respect for cultural values that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving heritage and maintaining the distinction between the symbols of life and the rituals associated with death.

NHCC, Chasing Waterfalls Africa Explore Partnership to Promote Zambia’s Waterfalls

The National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) is set to partner with Chasing Waterfalls Africa in a move aimed at showcasing Zambia’s vast waterfall tourism potential to regional and international audiences.

The partnership discussions were held during a courtesy call by representatives of the Ghana-based initiative, which is dedicated to discovering, documenting and promoting Africa’s lesser-known waterfalls while advancing conservation and community participation.

NHCC Executive Director Kagosi Mwamulowe said Zambia’s rich natural heritage deserves greater global recognition, noting that the country is home to more than 200 documented waterfalls, including the iconic Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls) and Kalambo Falls, Africa’s second-highest waterfall.

He emphasized that tourism promotion must be balanced with conservation efforts and community empowerment to ensure sustainable benefits for future generations.

Chasing Waterfalls Africa Project Lead Gina Arthur said the organisation is keen to work with NHCC to identify, document and market Zambia’s waterfalls, while preserving the cultural stories and traditions linked to the sites.

Arthur noted that the initiative has successfully documented dozens of waterfalls in Ghana and helped raise tourism visibility for destinations across Africa.

The proposed collaboration is expected to strengthen Zambia’s tourism profile, attract more visitors, and highlight the country’s unique natural heritage on the global stage.

According to a statement issued by NHCC Manager for Information and Public Relations, Ndubi R. Mvula, the discussions form part of the Commission’s broader efforts to forge strategic partnerships that promote Zambia’s heritage resources while ensuring their sustainable conservation and development.
