Africa-Press – Zambia. Do you know why Dr Kenneth Kaunda became a vegetarian? Many people came to accept that Dr Kaunda became a vegetarian but they never bothered to find out why he decided to live on vegetables for the rest of his life.
He never quit meat because of health complications or any allergy, it was a moral decision. When Dr Kaunda was Secretary General for African National Congress Party (ANC), there was a boycott of butcheries in the then Northern Rhodesia now Zambia.
The boycott was necessitated by the way blacks were treated by the British when purchasing meat from the butcheries. The black people were subjected to buying meat through the pigeon hole, a demeaning act.
