DR KENNETH KAUNDA

We’ll miss you KK

On behalf of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zambia, Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, we wish to express our heartfelt condolences to the Kaunda Family on the passing of Zambia’s Founding Father Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda.

"From his hey days as a young revolutionary leader fighting against the colonial forces to his later years as an elderly statesman, Dr. Kaunda served this country with love, passion, empathy and honour.

Dr Kaunda was a true Pan-Africanist whose contribution to the liberation struggle stretched beyond the borders of Zambia to South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and to as far as the Middle East and Latin America.

He taught us the true meaning of One Zambia One Nation. He showed us that it is possible to belong to different political parties and different ethnic groupings but still live together in love and harmony as one people.

Dr Kaunda's economic foundation is what the PF government has based its unprecedented infrastructure transformation, taking development to all the corners of this country and leaving no one behind.

There is no better way to honour this great son of the soil than breaking the artificial and lose political and at times, tribal differences that every now and then put a wedge between brother and sister, father and mother; let us honour this great statesman by ensuring that we have a violent-free general election come 12th August, 2021.”
