wow .... the end of an era. one of the last (if not the last) independence era leaders in Africa finally goes home. i remember reading "Zambia shall be free" which detailed his struggles to free Zambia from colonial subjugation in secondary school. Adieu sir

The ones in Nigeria were just opportunists, wanted their tribes to be heard first.
These are the type of people that should be referred to as "Founding Fathers" People with real proofs.
See the calibre of people he associated with during his time.

We dont know what he actually did but my instinct told me he was a very great leader, even for him to share a moment with Martin luther king jnr......its worth it..


RIP legend of Zambia

You can not know what he did since you are a millennial. We know what he did for his country and the reason he was referred to as "Baba Zambia"

Ruling from 1964-1991 to me seems like changing from one pattern of slavery to a much worse model of slavery. Reminds me of one country somewhere very very far in Africa that I was told of that moved from frying pan to fire. The citizens are really regretting the choice of a president they made. However, the zombies who elected the Lucifer into power for fear of lynching and rejection continue to defend their oppressor.

Anyways, what was now the purpose of the independence? To fulfil his selfish desires, I suppose. Do I sight Nelson Mandela in the pishures? The only African hero I know. The late Zambian president is no different from the late Mugabe. Africa really has terrifying history to tell

No African leader that puts their people's interest and future ahead of the Neo-colonialists lasts in power. Happens very very rarely. All these ones that serve 8 years or more are mere foremen to the West's modernized slavery.

I can sight Emperor Heil Silesia of Ethiopia, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia and Mobutu Sese Seko Mabanga of Congo former Zaire.
Robert Mogabe was missing there though.

Our own here will never make such history except to be remembered that he banned Twitter and valued cow above human lives

Great Men of Africa... Rest on.

Hope they find another of his kind because the Chinese have carved out an area that zambians are not allowed to enter.

In that place there are restaurants, shopping malls and hospitals.

There national radio stations have Chinese programs spoken in Chinese that runs for 2hrs a day.

Africa is really cursed

This baba removal as president made me not to believe any trade unionist or social crusader are credible to be voted as political leaders. They are all show no substance.

It was Frederick Chiluba that led Zambia down the economic ruin you mentioned. He promised to eradicate corruption and make Zambia paradise on earth,just to get Baba out. The Corruption Zambians later experienced in Chiluba's time became monumental compared to the previous child's play

Just like Nigeria depending solely on crude oil, Zambia depended solely on copper as a source of national wealth. Now see where it got them.

There must be supper looting going on in that country since independence.

Same thing we witness here in 9ja since time immemorial.

Kaunda is a historic figure but from what I read up there, his over 3 decades of rulership didn't produce any good result for his country.

He fought hard and prevented amalgamation of the 3 Rodesian colonies by Britain. That very heroic for me. He has my salutations.


May his soul rest in peace.

RIP Sir




Can you see what he did? He fought to 'snatch ' Zambia away from ill-fated federalism. But our founding-fathers , Awo , Zik , Anthony Enahoro and a host of others, fell for it with their minds and eyes closed and sold us into slavery called Nigeria, and brought us into the current agonies.

Re: Kenneth Kaunda Dies Aged 97 by grandstar(m): 4:51pm On Jun 17, 2021
Though well meaning like Buhari, he left the country impoverished. Honesty and integrity does not produce 8% per annum economic growth rates.

Sound economic policies are what transforms economies. Dangote said Soludo's bank recapitalization policies made him what he is today.

Buhari's "Great Leap Forward" policies since 2015 have left the economy prostate. "Be patriotic" no dey put food for table.

The great KK OF ZAMBIA is gone.

African great leaders are going to the great beyond one by one.

I remember the book written by the late Kenneth Kaunda "ZAMBIA MUST BE FREE"

I joined the good people of Zambia to mourn this great man.

It is a great loss not only to his home country but to the african continent.

Late Kenneth Kaunda, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Samora Machel of Mozambique, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela were the great leaders of Africa.

These late rulers fought the colonialist be it the British, Portuguese, French etc and they wrestle power to african nationalist at Independence.

Many young politicians that are misbehaving in the political stages today at their various countries never knew the effort this great men put in their country.

In Nigeria, we had the likes of Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Ahmadu Bello ( Sauduana of Sokoto ) Chief Anthony Enahoro, Herbert Macaulay etc

May the good lord comfort his immediate family and the Zambia nation at large.

May his soul rest in peace

You sure do know your continent's history. I salute you.
