Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia\u2019s Freedom Fighter, Christine Mulundika has been put to rest at Leopards Memorial Park in Lusaka today. Mulundika, who died last week on Sunday March 13,2022 aged 80, was buried at the Leopards Memorial Park, after a church service at St Ignatius in Lusaka.<\/p>\n

Vice President Mutale Nalumango represented President Hakainde Hichilema in leading other mourners to witness the burial, who included Cabinet ministers and other government officials.<\/p>\n

President Hakainde Hichilema in a speech read on his behalf by Vice President Mutale Nalumango said the former freedom fighter will not just be mourned but celebrated because of the exemplary life she lived.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema said Late Mulundika spent a large part of her youth actively supporting the independence struggle of mother Zambia. \u201cWe lost two eminent persons whom we will forever remain indebted to for their great contributions and sacrifice to the independence struggle of our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema further noted that in the post independent Zambia, Mulundika was among the few women who served in high leadership positions in UNIP until 1991.<\/p>\n

He added that the late Mulundika\u2019s career in the public service began in the late 1960\u2019s and was among the first few Indigenous women to be trained as a Teacher at Minga Teachers training College.<\/p>\n

The President also explained that late Mulundika was an ardent freedom fighter that exhibited her commitment to the welfare of other people. He said Mulundika ventured into Unionism, which was predominantly a preserve of the male folk at that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cLate Mulundika will go down in the history of our country as an architect of the emancipation of women in the workplace,\u201d he said. He urged Zambians to emulate the late Mulundika\u2019s patriotism and contributions to the development of the country and honour her legacy.<\/p>\n

The President said the legacy left by Mulundika will continue to inspire the current crop of leaders as she promoted peace and unity. And giving a vote of thanks, Chieftainess Nkomesha urged upcoming politicians to serve the interest of the people like what late Mulundika fought for. She praised late Mulundika for fighting for the liberation of Zambia to gain independence.<\/p>\n

ZANIS reports that the late Mulundika is well known for the 1995 Supreme Court judgement dubbed: \u2018Mulundika and seven others on the Public Order Act (POA)\u2019. In this case, the appellants challenged the constitutionality of certain provisions of the POA Chapter 104 of the Laws of Zambia (now Chapter 113), especially section 5 (4).<\/p>\n
