FJT CHILUBA REMEMBERED
Fifteen years ago, on Saturday, June 18, 2011, Frederick Titus Jacob Chiluba, former President of Zambia, passed away, leaving behind a legacy as one of the principal architects of the country’s transition to multi-party democracy.
A former trade union leader, Chiluba earned widespread recognition as a steadfast champion of workers’ rights. As a leading figure in the newly formed Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD), he spearheaded the campaign that brought an end to First President Kenneth Kaunda’s one-party rule.
In 1991, Chiluba won Zambia’s first multi-party elections, becoming the nation’s second President since independence and ushering in a new era of democratic governance.
