And the First Republican President, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda has urged all Zambians to adhere to the measures put in place by the government to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 by observing social distancing, washing hands with soap, staying home as well as wearing masks when in public places.
Zambia’s First Republican President’s birthday falls on April 28.
This is contained in a statement made available to the ZANIS in Lusaka today by the Administrative Assistant at the Office of the First President, Rodrick Ngolo.
Happy birthday KK ,its really a blessing he has outlived other presidents like Moi ,Mugabe ,Mubarak ,Mobutu and even Goerge Bush Sr.Follow his advice on Covid -19.
I think Vegetarian is the way to go….
Long live KK
Maybe we need this old man to die of the virus for zambians to wake up. The leadership is laughable. Jokers !
Laughable he has outlived fellow dictators. I think it’s time he went to meet his creator.
Yama, mwalipena bushe muli batuntulu?
I am 23 years old and very single. Zambian men my age are a disappointment with many full of lies or poor performance in bed. I would marry KK anyday over them. Something gets my blood boiling when I think about old dirty men. Makes my legs so weak. And of course their deep pockets help.
Happy Birthday KK. Great move Office of the First President. I wish our Zambian Pastors were also this wise. I am very sure that our Pastors were pressurizing ECL to relax the partial lockdown so that they can enjoy offertory and tithes. Which Churches will open? We shall now know the true Religious Groupings that do not care about the well-being of thier members.
We shall know them by their fruits

@Tarino Orange. That comment’s unnecessary. No wonder KC goes off on you everytime. That type of leadership was needed at that time period, it maybe stretched abit too long, but give KK credit for handing over power peacefully.
Happy Birthday KK…he is an example of what you can achieve from healthy living ..do you know this man never takes sugar in his beverage!!
I wonder hw many people are older than Kenneth Kaunda in Zambia today. Happy birthday old man. I think his vegetarianism, teetotalerism and not smoking hv helped him hv such a long life. I think 100th birthday is within reach.
His Birthday falls on April 28th, people not today. Yes we will wish him a good one and many more blessed ones while his haters crumble and perish.
Tarino what is realy wrong with you? Surely how could you wish an elderly icon kk with death? Anyway long live kk.
Long live KK. Indeed you are Great. You had a big vision for this country. You sacrificed a lot.They called you all sorts of names, yet you sat back and forgave. You planted industries in all provinces, your vision was to fight unemployment. Yes after college or university there was a job for everyone. You sent us to school from grade 0 to the Highest institutions. Our parents din’t even know what it cost to see their children to university. its a pity!!!! God bless you Supper Kenny. Of course you are human, you had your own flaws yet you still shine. Happy birthday
Kenneth Kaunda quotes:
“When that young comrade Yoweri Museveni has made mistakes, I have told him without making issues public. But there is no way I feel I can keep quiet about this issue of presidential candidates in Uganda. I appeal to him not to accept those who are around [him] bending to prevent other candidates.”
“The inability of those in power to still the voices of their own consciences is the great force leading to change.”
This is a milestone worthy of celebrating. You are blessed with God’s goodness, grace, and kindness. You have been an exemplary and visionary leader who has dedicated his life to the service of humanity. Happy birthday, sir!

Happy birthday my president…..
If you retire at say 55 yrs and you want to live at least 90 yrs, it means you had fewer working years to build your nest egg and more time to spend on it. Generally most people have no discipline approach to saving and spending of money. KK has been looked after by tax money and you have to look after youself. Only God or your children will look after you if you plan to live long.
Noah bn: It’s very hard to save for retirement in Zambia because the Zambian currency is not a good store of value. It’s the main reason most pension funds are struggling because with kwacha income streams that cannot maintain their value, just about all pensioners except retired presidents and judges end up destitute.
Long live KK!! Happy Birthday our finding father!!!
Happy Birthday our first president.
