KK: A FATHER OF THE SOIL
 |
| DR KENNETH KAUNDA |
What should I
say? This month reminds me of Zambian were yearning for multiparty democracy
and the one-party state was crumbling,
The cathedral of
the holy Cross was venue to one of the most crucial meeting in the history of Zambia
when the restless young men then who were demanding change came eye-ball to
eye-ball with Dr Kaunda to thrash out the agreement that ushered in the new political
dispensation we now enjoy.
KK is an
advocate, our hero who struggled during difficult times together with his
comrades for peace Zambian are enjoying today.
The KK, might be
judged by its cover by us young stars who were not there during that time,
nevertheless, historically in tandem he and his friends they didn't design to
peruse for personal gains.
That's why
today, I write to appreciate him not where no more is because dead people
receive more flowers than the living because regret is stronger than gratitude.
Therefore, this
is my flowers of words to our TATA. Perhaps, he was meant to the president
indeed, many have forgotten away his service he rendered to the people.
Though public
information is more important than the people who are in POWER. But Tata has
probably unwittingly, has illustrated the purpose and commitment to the
leadership.
He never lost
his conviction to fight for the freedom we endure today, whose power tend to
forget by many people. His not unsung hero, we still count him as our father of
the nation.
The father of
eight, who assumed power at the age 27, with Malawian descent and Tumbuka by
tribe. Anyway that should not take away from the fact we had greatest of him in
our midst and derived from serving the people of the mother land.
He saved in many
capacities, often in public and in the background, even helping the country to
be known worldwide which we see resources and refuge from power.
Like his, many
from the humble beginnings have in them that greatest that is often brought to
the fore by great adversity. But it always need to be like that.
Lastly, Thank
you Tata KK, comrade, grandpa and all the names we can call him, for making us
believe in our nation again via that freedom. True son of the soul. Long life
and God bless you.
Youth-Activist,
walu-B.
