Kaunda First President of the Republic of Zambia has been unwell and was admitted to hospital at Maina Soko Medical Centre. > His Excellency Dr Kaunda is requesting all Zambians and the international community to pray for him as the medical team is doing everything possible to ensure he recovers.

Kaunda eventually ceded power in the first multi-party elections in 1991, losing to trade unionist Fredrick Chiluba. Under his leadership, Zambia hosted many of the movements fighting for independence or black equality in other countries around the region, including Zimbabwe’s two liberation movements, ZAPU and ZANU. *More: News24* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
