BY KAYODE KOMOLAFE The body of the first president of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda, will be buried today in a private ceremony at the presidential cemetery in Lusaka. Kaunda died on June 17 at the age of 97. He was Zambia’s president for 27 years. A major thread running through the tributes paid Kaunda’s memory is that the man fondly called KK by admirers around the world was one of the last giants of African liberation struggle. Kaunda was essentially a devotee of pan-Africanism. Five days ago, the government of President Edgar Lungu honoured the memory of Kaunda with a state funeral at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka, the Zambian capital.
