KK has Left a Vital Legacy- Mahtani

K.K EulogyThe Mahtani family is saddened and expresses deepest condolences to Kenneth Kaunda’s family, friends and indeed
the Zambia Nation on the demise of the Father of the Nation (Zambia’s Independence Hero and first President) and the
African Union. He enjoys a well-deserved rest and watches us from Heaven from a place reserved for him.
None can equal or rival his principled exemplary life, his faith, (all are equal before God), his selflessness, (others before
self) his love for mankind, inspiration by God in his sacrificial engagement with life whether as a guitarist, pianist, singer,
writer, footballer, poet, dancer, or family man.
Dr. Kaunda has been a long-term friend of the Mahtani family. The late Lekhraj Mahtani, a Councillor in Ndola,
collaborated and supported Dr. Kaunda’s fight for Independence. Many Allegations against KK have proven false as he
fought for his integrity and lived a simple and exemplary life by the grace of Our Lord. We shared some of his fate
together.
Kenneth Kaunda leaves us with a vital legacy, and we must continue to live up to his ideals of Pan -Africanism and unity.
Dr. Kaunda was not content with Zambia being free unless the rest of Southern Africa was free too. We continue to
expose his motto of ‘One Zambia, One Nation!’
We remember his constant reminders – “Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger and clamour, and evil speaking, be put
away from you, with all malice; And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:31-32).
Dr. Rajan Mahtani.
