Zambia 50 Year Anniversary Note

Zambia turned 50 years of independence from the British rule. The occasion was marked with great celebration in Lusaka and many different locations across the country.

The Bank of Zambia released a Fifty Kwacha (K50.00) anniversary for the occasion. At Kwacha Economics, we loved it and would have loved to share it sooner. However, the passing of our President Mr. Micheal Chilufya Sata presented some logistical problems.

All the same, this is being shared now. The many feature is the faces of our presidents from independence to now.

The former presidents of Zambia: (Clock-wise) Dr. Kenneth D. Kaunda, 
Mr. Levy P. Mwanawasa, Mr. Michael C. Sata, Mr. Rupiah Banda and
Dr. Frederick T. J. Chiluba  


The five former presidents are:
1. Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda (24-October, 1964 to 2-November, 1991),
2. Dr. Frederick Jacob Titus Chiluba (2-November, 1991 to 2-January, 2002),
3. Mr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa (2-January, 2002 to 19-August, 2008),
4. Mr. Rupiah Bwezani Banda (2-November, 2008 to 23-September, 2011), and
5. Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata (23-September, 2011 to 28-October, 2014).

May their soul rest in peace.

We hope for the peace, joy and unity in this great nation as our national anthem proudly declares. A new president will be elected within 90 days of the death of Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata. Dr. Guy Scott, the Vice President will be interim president during this period.


Special mention from Kwacha Economics.
May the soul of Elizabeth (Lizzy) Munjunga who died on 13th September, 2014 rest in peace. We miss you dearly.
