KK Tells All Political Parties To Cooperate
Dr. Kaunda has reminded people in the country that despite them belonging to different political parties they should remember that they are all brothers and sisters.
Speaking last evening in Lusaka at a dinner hosted by United National Independence Party (UNIP) in honor of his 90th birthday anniversary which falls on tomorrow, Dr. Kaunda reminded people to also remember the One Zambia, One Nation motto.
Dr. Kaunda says this is especially that the One Zambia, One Nation motto does not belong to any particular political party but that it is a national motto many that struggled for the country’s liberation from colonial rule are aspired to.
He says everyone in the country should also remember to actively practice the message of love adding that he also feels humbled when fellow human beings show deep appreciation for the 90 years his life on earth.
And the Dr. Kaunda has admitted that good developments have take place before and after the independence of Zambia because many people were able to work together as brothers and sisters.
He says this year as the country celebrated 50 years of Independence, it is further important for the nation to remember those that have contributed in various ways, before Independence and after Independence.
Speaking earlier at the same dinner UNIP vice president Njekwa Anamela commended the Patriotic Front (PF) for leading the nation in reflecting on the achievements of the first republican president as true national hero and an outstanding leader of his time.
Mr. Anamela says it is also in recognition of Dr. Kaunda’s exception life and leadership that UNIP also renamed its building in Lusaka as the Kenneth Kaunda House on his 80th birthday anniversary.
Mr. Anamela has also implored people in the country to emulate and follow Dr. Kaunda’s examples in commitment, love and belief in humanity and in standing up to be counted in pursuit for worthy causes

After killing the opposition under his foolish humanism or whatever rubbish he called it, now he has the guts to say anything about democracy. Atase chifonkofonko.

Some of you on here are so full of hate you fail to recognise the overwhelming contribution that KK gave to the the founding of this great nation. KK is one of great founding fathers of this nation , and was at the helm during the struggle. A great freedom fighter full of vision. He not only liberated us from the colonialist but he also contributed immensely to the liberation struggle of many African countries.
We who are in the know understand the amount of pressure we as a nation had to endure at the hands of the imperialists and the racists south of the border, namely Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa. The one party state was fashioned in order to overcome division as we struggled to remove the racists. The one party state was a necessary evil was a strategic move and indeed achieved its goals. You may call KK a despot , but do you you realise he gave up the one party state after we asked him to and without hesitation. I’m a product of the KK era and immensely proud of it. Long Live KK and Long Live One Zambia One Nation.
