Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>RIGHT BEHIND YOU, BOSS. (TIMES OF ZAMBIA)-THE man who spent all his life shadowing his boss\u2019s every step has followed him into the after-life. Moyse Joseph Kaulung\u2019ombe was Kenneth Kaunda\u2019s body guard for many years until UNIP was ousted from power by the Multi-party Movement for Democracy (MMD) in 1991 and stuck with him as his head of security after he left State House.<\/p>\n

According to a family member, Mr Kaulung\u2019ombe died yesterday, just 50 minutes after Dr Kaunda had passed on at 14:30 hours. He was 74. He is largely credited with saving Kaunda\u2019s life in the suspected assassination attempt on his life in Kabwe in 1998, acting bravely to push the former president out of harm\u2019s way when bullets were fired at him and his lawyer Roger Chongwe.<\/p>\n

He was also arrested in connection with the \u201cCaptain Solo\u201d coup plot in which Kaunda was alleged to have been complicated, but no evidence was ever adduced against any of the parties accused. Mr. Kaulung\u2019ombe had been battling colon cancer since 2018 and had been to India for treatment. MHSRIP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
