CAPETOWN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 30, 2024 [SMART EAGLES]
The Myles Leadership University Council has today conferred Citizens First President Harry Kalaba with an Honorary Doctorate Award in Transformational Leadership at a ceremony held at at the Doubletree Hilton hotel in Cape Town South Africa.
The award to the CF leader is for his outstanding contribution in the areas of Youth & Women Development, Community Development, Leadership, and Philanthropy.
Accepting the Honorary Doctorate, Dr. Kalaba said receiving the Doctorate is a humbling experience and motivated him to do more for the people of Zambia.
Dr. Kalaba said the award is also an encouragement to global leaders for them to continue doing good for humanity.
” This award is a very humbling experience and also an encouragement to global leaders to continue doing good for humanity. I am deeply honored to accept this Honorary Doctorate today, not just for myself but on behalf of the millions of Zambians who, like me, believe in a vision for Zambia built on accountable leadership that prioritizes the nation’s interests over personal gain,” Dr. Kalaba said.
” Receiving this Honorary Doctorate affirms that standing for accountability and integrity in public service matters. It inspires my team and me to continue advocating for a more equitable and just Zambia, especially in these challenging times. Today, political persecution is widespread, opposition leaders are arrested for dissenting opinions, corruption narratives are narrowly defined, and our nation appears more divided than at any point in the past six decades,” he said.
And the CF leader said the people of Zambia—and indeed all of Africa—deserve leaders committed to meeting the basic needs of their citizens, achieving sustainable development goals, and striving toward the ambitious Agenda 2030 of becoming a prosperous, middle-income nation. However, our current trajectory raises serious doubts about achieving these objectives.
“Together, we aim to build a Zambia rooted in the rule of law, freedom of expression, accountability, and a corruption free leadership that places the nation above all else,” Dr. Kalaba said.
Myles Leadership University is affiliated with top Universities in India, Benin, Armenia, and Ghana. The institution is accredited and as well as recognized by Higher Education and Research systems in francophone Africa (CAMES) and the International Association of Universities (IAU, WHED in Collaboration with UNESCO).
University Registrar, Dr. Nana Arnold said Kalaba’s leadership qualities and his profundity of thoughts have placed him on a pedestal above his equals.
An Honorary Doctorate Award acknowledges that the recipient deserves to be recognized for his/her unsurpassed abilities due to life’s learning and experiences.
