Sad to hear about Daddy Lumba’s passing—his music clearly meant a lot to a lot of people!

I hope the government doesn’t use this as an excuse to spend taxpayer money on elaborate state funerals or public events, though. Let the people who loved his music honor him in their own way, voluntarily. The best tribute is the way his fans keep his music alive, not top-down mandates or government ceremonies. We should always be careful about politicians turning private grief into public spectacle at the expense of personal freedom and choice.
