PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO MY HERO Mr. President, you lived your entire life serving. In all portfolios you held selfless service was your way of life. Your fearless passion for the country and love for its people was the daily anthem on your lips. You courageously rejected any form of prejudice on the poor majority and marginalized in our society. From afar you appeared aggressive but up close you radiated untold warmth and meekness. No wonder you took immense pride in identifying yourself with the people at every circumstance of your life. Humility was your greatest strength and forgiveness your greatest weakness. You were dearly loved because your strength and weakness synergized thereby spreading unusual affection and compassion, amongst multitudes. You inspired many people to forgive, care, reconcile and be tolerant regardless of the situation. I can attest to this because it’s these very noble principles that changed and sharped my character over the past 10 years I have closely worked with you. I count myself blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to serve you, right from the age of 24 to this day. If truly success is measured by influencing ones environment by investment of your personality and selflessness, then Mr. President you are no doubt a success! The kind of success that deserves praise and imitation. Mr. President, now as I grieve your departure, I am gradually accepting what has happened with a lump on my throat knowing fully well that I will never see you again. Your life in the camera is all I am left with. Sad as it may, I am comforted by the fact that you have left a legacy. A legacy of honesty, personal sacrifice and hard work. Right from the campaigns, your words still echo in my ears and I quote: “…ndefwaya nga nafwa mukalelanda ati twalikwete abaume pantu ndeisa mukuchinja Zambia.” Indeed, you have left Zambia better in the three years you have been in-charge and through your works you will forever be present in our lives. Thank you for all opportunities you availed me but most of all thank you for believing in me regardless of my age. Go well Mr. President, Farewell Ba Kateka!
