Statement by Nicholas Woolley on the passing of His Excellency Dr Kenneth Kaunda

I am greatly saddened to learn of the passing today of former President, His Excellency Dr Kenneth Kaunda.

Dr Kaunda will forever be remembered for:

• his service to the people of Zambia
• his role as the Founding Father of his nation
• his regional leadership in maintaining Zambia as a bastion against apartheid
• his mantra, ‘One Zambia, One Nation’

He has earned his place in history many times over.

I wish to extend my deepest condolences to Dr Kaunda’s family and to all Zambians at this difficult time. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
