Tributes have begun to pour in from various quarters, highlighting Hon. Kazombo’s vibrant personality and impactful leadership. A senior editor at Shire Times described him as a dynamic and progressive figure, fondly recalling the widely shared “Chilanga shadow” video clip, which showcased his humor and charisma. He was characterized as a determined and forceful leader—a “bulldozer” in pursuit of progress—and, above all, a genuine man of the people.
