A Political Discourse on Michael Chilufya Sata, the Man of Action: His Vision and Legacy

He stood out as a man in his own class. Many people, politicians alike find themselves in great admiration of a man who lived for the common man, who did extraordinary things for his country, a man who dared the odds to serve his people through ways that are not common among the common, a man who was full of humor and yet a no-nonsense man when serious business called. When things went amiss he spoke out with unwavering courage. In his final contribution to the political landscape of Zambia, he initiated unprecedented development that will forever be remembered, a man who left behind a vision that is worth championing, a man whose legacy is here to stay. This was the man, the fifth republican president of Zambia, His Excellency the late Michael Chilufya Sata (1936- 2014).
