A mausoleum for Malawi’s most celebrated music icon, Soldier Lucius Banda has been officially unveiled today.
The Lucius Banda Mausoleum has been built by his family and close friends as a way to celebrate his legacy.
Mrs. Sunganani Banda, Lucius Banda’s widow, said: “I would like to thank friends of Lucius Banda for supporting us with this project.”
Chairperson of the Mausoleum building Committee Allan Esau Phiri, who is also member of Parliament for Dedza East Golomoti Constituency, said apart from the free-standing, above the ground building monument enclosing the burial chamber for Lucius Banda, there are plans for a future Museum for the late decorated music kingpin.
“As Lucius Banda’s family and friends we came together and put our resources together to build a final resting place for our brother and friend as a way of honouring his legacy but also to preserve his memory and celebrate his life,” said Esau Phiri.
