Brother Chunga’s last mile

Hundreds of mourners from all walks of life on Thursday joined the Marist Brothers and students of Zomba Catholic Secondary School in paying their last respects to Bro Vincent Chunga as his body was being taken to Mtendere in Dedza for burial today (Friday). Until his death at the Brothers’ Residence in the early hours of Wednesday, Brother Chunga, who was born on May 4 1964, was the headteacher of Zomba Catholic.

He came from Chiwungeunge Village in Katete Parish in Mzimba. The picture shows the school’s chaplain, Fr Denis Kamalo (C), leading in special send-off prayers after a Requiem Mass at Zomba Cathedral, before the body started the journey to its final resting place at the Marist Brothers Cemetery in Dedza.—Michael Mmeya, Staff Writer
