LUSAKA PRESS CLUB PAYS TRIBUTE TO JOACKIM CHISANGA

The Lusaka Press Club joins the media fraternity in mourning the death of Joackim Chisanga, a cameraman with the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS), who passed away recently.

Mr Chisanga was more than just a cameraman—he was a silent force behind the scenes, capturing Zambia’s unfolding stories with precision and passion. His absence leaves a void not only in the newsroom but in the hearts of those who worked alongside him.

We honour his memory and the dedication he showed to his craft over the years. The Lusaka Press Club sends its deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues. May they find comfort in knowing that his work touched many and helped shape the narrative of our nation.

Rest in peace, Joackim.

Lusaka Press Club Mourns the Passing of Journalist Victoria Mubanga Mukupo

The Lusaka Press Club is deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Ms. Victoria Mubanga Mukupo, a committed and talented media professional who contributed immensely to the Zambian media landscape.

Until her untimely death, Ms. Mukupo had served as a news reporter at KNC Radio, a media monitor for the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Zambia, and most recently, as the Public Relations Officer for Prisons Foundations in Kabwe. Her career was marked by passion, diligence, and a strong sense of duty to public communication and media integrity.

Victoria's passing comes as a heavy blow not only to her family, friends, and colleagues, but to the journalism fraternity as a whole. She had only recently embarked on a promising new chapter in public relations when she fell ill. Despite undergoing various medical procedures and operations, she sadly did not recover.

This marks yet another painful loss in a short period for the Zambian media community. The Lusaka Press Club is alarmed by the increasing frequency of deaths among journalists, many of whom are still in their prime and actively contributing to public discourse and nation-building. These losses are a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the need for robust health support systems.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Ms. Mukupo, her colleagues at KNC Radio, MISA Zambia, and Prisons Foundations, as well as to all media practitioners across the country mourning this tragic loss.

May the soul of Victoria Mubanga Mukupo rest in eternal peace.

For and on behalf of the Lusaka Press Club.
