KAUNDA: UNSUNG HERO OF AFRICA’S FREEDOM STRUGGLE
On 28th April, 1924, one of Africa's liberation heroes - Kenneth Kaunda - was born in northern Zambia.
Kaunda Day is officially commemorated on this date in Zambia, honouring both his birthday and his towering contribution to African freedom.
Fondly known as KK and Super Ken, he was not only Zambia's founding president but a pan-African icon who gave the best of his 97 years of life to ensuring that every single inch of African land was free of colonialism.
As President of Zambia, Kaunda led other African leaders to form the coalition of Frontline States, a collection of countries in southern and East Africa that had gained their independence in the early 1960s.
