  • KK shows what Mugabe could have been.

    The policies both pursue formed by their experience of colonialism. They have both made horrendous economic errors.

    KK finally realised when it was time to go and accepted the results of a Democratic election.

    My respect for KK is greater after his fall from power than it was when he was the President. He put peace in the country above his own needs and political ideals.

  • Your choice of name is very apt then.

    Not my favourite either. Made some awful mistakes but put in context he is no Amin, Mugabe, Moi or Mobutu

    KK was a frontline leader in the struggle for black majority rule in Southern Africa. He allowed ANC and Zimbabwean freedom fighter camps in Zambia but was also the only African leader to meet and talk with RSA white presidents during apartheid period. For those peaceful efforts he deserves some respect - even from a white African like me.

  • This guy was Saddam Hussein's best friend believe it or not.

    

  • I also have met KK.... Was born while he was President of the great nation of Zambia.

  • Mr.Kaunda said the most important word Love he got this from God almighty who gave us but one thing we must have to be in his favor that is to Love one another.I also like the fact that he would not seperate politics from humanity and what is right.,

    we all just listened to a MAN.

  • I've played football with KK in my backgarden here in London when I was about 8! He did a cruyff turn aged about 70!

  • excellent work!

  • KK go ,,we are behind you...thanks very much to our zambian hero ,,God bless him. Such men are living saints!! GO KK GO KK

  • ba slimeyd ....what are you saying? ngatamwakwata fyakula just shut it.........

  • Fortehworld - you are right! Banda was the idiot that supported the aparthied government is South Africa.

  • Kenneth Kaunda's and Julius Nyerere's models should be studied in detail by our Third World countries. Zambian Humanism of KK led a breakthrough from a wasted colony to a developing country with proper health, education and no street kids (among other facts admitted by his selfsame ploitical opponents). A movement whose key factor for development was the Human Being instead of the "completely free market & enslaved citizens". . .

  • Go KK
