We need to appreciate Kenneth Kaunda more
"People easily forget and ignore a persons hard work, but you can never erase the past he created for the present you are living in"
Its been bothering me for a while now
Some people wonder why there free!!!
Why they have parties so strong that they can have freedom to vote for a president they want,
Some have forgotten the years spent in exile, to live among fellow Africans to be free.,
Not just a home away from home,
but a home and a family they can depend on,
a family they can be defended by the evils of a struggle for freedom,
I think some have forgotten, and many walk over the pain the struggles of our hero KK,
A man who risked everything for the love of helping people to be free,
Even the only family he called family "Zambia" people,
He risked his peoples love, to let others be free,
"why do you think food prices rose in the 80's in Zambia?
All borders where closed, all colonialist countries around us did not let Zambia export or use the rail way system out side its borders.
This is the price for the struggle of freedom,
How many leaders of today lived in Mtendere teaching, or in Lilanda with fellow Zambians?
Building a government of their own,
Building a future together for Africa to be Free,
Super K believes that "peace is humanity's most pressing priority",
Therefore the "people of Zambia must endure and continued to accept refugees from their neighbors",
I guess that's the price we pay for freedom.
and helping others be free.
But a thank you and recognition to the real people on the ground who worked hard would have been nice,
not licking leaders butt who don't understand or know what happened in the fight for freedom.
A great thanks to these freedom fighters:
Simon Kapwepwe,
Jomo Kenyatta,
Samora Machel,
Patrice Lumumba
Steve Biko,
Desmond Tutu,
Josina Machel,
Julius Nyerere,
Kwame Nkrumah,
Agostinho Neto,
Robert Mugabe (even if he has messed up, we cannot erase what he did too)
Che Guevara (the work he did in Congo DRC)
Remember: "People easily forget and ignore a persons hard work, but you can never erase the past he created for the present you are living in"
I am truly hurt today as a Zambian
