… as Hundreds Pay Last Respect to Dandy Crazy.
MOURNERS at Musician Wesley Chibambo, popularly known as Dandy Crazy, told PF faction Vice President Given Lubinda not to use the artist’s funeral for politicking.
When Lubinda tried to use the funeral platform for political mileage, mourners told him “Lekefyo” (STOP). 
The PF who wanted to use the funeral for political purposes were outsmarted by the Socialist Party after securing an expensive casket.
Apart from politicking, the former ruling party was relegated to spectators.
Meanwhile, the government stated that it would not use social media to publicize its assistance to the late musician’s widow and children.
Sports and Arts Minister Elvis Nkandu revealed that the widow and musician B Flow had a meeting to discuss how the government could help.
He criticized the practice of using social media to publicize help rendered during funerals, calling it un-Zambian and uncultured.
Wesley Chibambo, popularly known as Dandy Crazy, was laid to rest at Leopards Hill Memorial Park in Lusaka after tragically dying in a car crash alongside four others.
Despite heavy rains, fans, fellow artists, and well-wishers braved the weather to pay their last respects and celebrate Mr. Chibambo’s life and legacy.
A memorial concert was held in his honor, featuring performances by several artists, including Yo Maps, Macky 2, Afunika, Mozegeta, Shi Mumbi, and others, who paid tribute to his contribution to the Zambian music industry.
Mr. Chibambo was involved in a car accident on New Year’s Eve while traveling to Kitwe for a performance.
The accident claimed four lives on the spot, while Mr. Chibambo was rushed to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) for specialized treatment.
Despite undergoing a successful operation, Mr. Chibambo succumbed to his injuries on January 2nd, 2025.
In an emotional tribute, his first daughter, Comfort, speaking on behalf of her siblings, shared how their father passed away on the birthday of one of his daughters, Shekinah Chibambo, who was turning 11.
Comfort described her father as a loving husband, father, and uncle, saying, “Speaking for the whole family, you were a great husband, a good father, and a wonderful uncle.”
