 Morners' wave-in white Kenneth Kaunda's trademark flags gathered at a Lusaka stadium for a state memorial service for Zambia's first president, who died last month, aged 97. Neatly distanced in compliance with COVID-19 social distancing rules, scores of Morners stood on the terraces, distancing, of course, the singing solemn music played by military band. A hero of the struggle against white rule in southern Africa, Kaunda, on the 17th of June, at a military hospital died, where he had been admitted. He also always carried a white flag, an item that, of course, he said symbolized peace, which he started carrying while incarcerated during the struggle for independence. A casket draped in the Zambian flag was driven on a gun carriage into a 60,000 capacity national hero's stadium and placed under a white marquis. Foreign dignitaries in Lusaka, too, of course, to pay their respects include South African president Siru Ramafosa, Urdu Kenyatta of Kenya, and Ganesh Danakufuadu, as well as junior foreign minister, James Dodridge, representing Zambia's former ruler.
