Kenneth Kaunda

Kenneth Kaunda
The first president of Zambia after it became independent in 1964, Kenneth Kaunda encouraged economic growth and social development. His support for Africans resisting white minority rule in southern Rhodesia led to the establishment of a black majority government there in 1980. He was defeated in a 1991 election after serving six terms as president.
