I have learnt what my teachers failed to teach me In 12years just in 30mins...this information is very important as a Zambian . thank you for being the very few Zambians who are really proud of the history of Zambia and take time to study and share the information ℹ️ us their is no great love than this .... thank you
Wow boi i want to always thank you for the support
I wander who is behind the useless curriculum.
But they taught you to read English and how to understand it. That has helped you to appreciate history. Do not insult the teaching profession. Even our first leaders where teachers. They were not as selfish & greed as leaders we have in our time.
Not everything is supposed to be taught in schools
@@pietwarren9709 but your roots is an important element in life.zambian history is to be of most importance if you are Zambian because if you don't know where you come from then where are you going...we sent time in school learning about shaka Zulu instead of learning our own leadership history...as a Zambian am proud to learn my roots and school should be about knowledge that can add value to your life and can be applied to your life ...
Elo in school we are being asked who David Livingstone met at ujiji 🙌. You guys are doing amazing work this is what we should be taught in schools
Exactly this should be part of our education and please check out my new video
And this is the history our children are supposed to be told.
We don't need colonizers' history. It breaks our hearts.
Thanks for rewriting our history to remind us of where our fore fathers stood to rebarate us.
How I wish Iet this great man in person. Sad that he died when i was very young.
I've learned what I was not taught in my whole education journey.........
I swear this history is so refreshing and satisfying 😊😇we need more of this kind of history in Zambia 🇿🇲
Wow am honoured
This was a Great man and very Patriotic Zambian who knew the Past, Present and future. ❤
This should be used as education material in schools..u are doing a great job sir,not just learning about David Livingstone and Hitler ..
The more I listen to the history the more I appreciate Simon mwansa kapwepwe
Thank you very much
Not until I watched this clip, I didn't know who named our country, apart from knowing that it came from Zambezi River. From today onwards, I'll look at SMK in a different way. I'll forever respect his children as an honor for the genuine job well done.......
This is what we need to be watching on Znbc
Thank you very much, thats means alot
Wow I didn't know that this Man was one of the greatest people of Zambia. A great visionary indeed. We need more Simon Mwansa Kapwepwes in the Nation. Thank you for this Video. 🙏
This is so beautiful. This history of our country must be taught in our schools
Yes this is the type of histotical lessons we should be learning
I absolutely agree with you,we should know our own roots of liberation
I have this feeling that Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe meant well for this country.
When you are a slave for too long you don't feel like a slave anymore. - Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe
Its called Stockholm Syndrome
Very true
Chinsali really has rich history about our independence
I thinking about doing a video about the district of Chinsali
This man was way ahead of his time. So much foresight. "IF WE DONT HANDLE OUR INDEPENDENCE WELL, COLONISERS WILL COME BACK AS INVESTORS. COLONISATION IS LIKE A CHAMELEON, IT DOESNT GO AWAY BUT ONLY EVOLVES."
Way ahead
He was the best description of a " Think Tank, " and not the jokes we have now, who only think about their bellies and not the good of all of us.
@Gabby West
Great Men. Unity brings success
These are the stories we need in order to embrace our roots.
Thanks 🙏 a lot
Thank you very much, this means alot
@@ChannelTENthousandBC Welcome dear, I actually expect more of that kind really.
@@lovenessmwewa7732 have you seen my latest video ?
Knowing our roots is what makes us assertive, this is extremely vital information, thank you 🙏
You totally right
Thanks to You Tube I just came across this very important and interesting part of history of Zambia.Thanks to the producers for this master piece of the history of our motherland and I only hope this important part of history of our country will be added in our curriculum so that our children and future generations can know where we are coming from as a people.
Thank you very much for you words
Am so happy to watch and listen to the history of my country 🥰
Am glad you enjoyed the video
Our history needs to be told. The future generations need reference to their history told by one of our own. This is truly great content, humbly waiting for more.
A series loading 😇😇 and thank you for the encouraging words
I love the words of the author towards the end! they were noble men who later turned into politicans, our current politicians have never been noble men
Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart
You can not teach your children your culture in another man's language 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾🇿🇲🇿🇲👏 Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe
Mr Kapwepwe was a visionary and a politician par excellence
Thats true and am proud to be Zambian because of his vision for the future
*"If You Adopt The Same Form Of Governance That Was Used To Oppress You And Your People, Even If You Gain Your Independence, You Will Use That Form Of Governing To Oppress The Very People That You Freed"*
~Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe~L
He was a wise man 😭
Great history that will help future leaders to allow freedom to prevaile. Prompted me to dig dipper into political syndrome.
Thank you for educating us on the history and foundation of Zambia. Each of our leaders played important roles, however you have helped in restoring the legacy of a great man - Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe!
Thank you very much
Am in tears 😢😢
Kapwepwe has not been celebrated enough. RIPower
These are then men we should put on our currency
100%
Fantastic documentary! I do wonder because of how many tribes we have if we followed Kapwepewe's suggestion of schools teaching in indigenous languages, it could have perhaps fragmentised Zambians to their tribes/ethnic groups, so I understand why KK disagreed. Whilst English was a colonial language it was the only single language Zambians could speak without out tribal linkages, we didn't have a universal lingua-fracna like Swahili that unified Tanzania. I think either English or simply creating a native lingua franca was the safest option to avoid tribal/ethnic affiliation at a time when the idea of 'Zambia' as a nation was simply artificial because after colonialism people had to develop a sense of oneness to identify as Zambian and not simply as a Bemba or Lozi or Tonga etc. All in all, I think Kapwepewe, Nkumbula and KK were great indelible pillars of our history and define who we are as Zambians esp as Zambia turns 58 soon.
Thats very true but is idea was not about language but about culture preservation which we are having a problem today. English had to be the primal langauge of the country but in our schools we had to learn about each others history and culture, the Bembas learning about the Tongas, the tongas learning about the ngonis, so on and so fourth. We are at a point in Zambia were we now know about Western civiliazation that our own... That was his point, our children are adopting another mans culture which us not their fault but ours because we dont know even know our own story. Am somewhat a Kaundalist because i agree with thw big man but am also a Kapwepwelist because i agree with him too😇😇😇😂😂
@@ChannelTENthousandBC yeah from that angle I do definitely agree. His ideas of cultural emancipation was important and I actually think now is the most pertinent time for that. Making Zambians aware of their heritage is important to overcoming any inferiority complex one might get from not knowing who they are. It’s hard to defend yourself when you don’t know who you’re even defending 😂. I think as Zambians we are grounded in our cultural heritage but also products of history - Zambia as a concept is a collection of distinct to not distinct groups and tbh I’m proud of how’ve stayed intact w decades of uninterrupted peace. Hahah yeah I get that Kaundaist-Kapwepweist complex…I feel I’m more a Kaundaist, like there’s a few things I’d have done differently to KK if I were him. Hbu ?
@@zenge.simakoloyi546 🤣🤣 am a proud Kaundalist and its been a beautiful journey of reading and researching about our history, please stay tuned for more and would love to have more conversations about these topics with you.
Very true because for others it would have been tricky because already we focus on only 5 tribes which are Tonga, Bemba, luvale, Lozi and nyanja Zambia has more than 72 tribes it's just that some are minority
We could have created our own language, that could be used. Just like Swahili was made from 3 majority language
Now that’s a true son of the soil, a true selfless visionary.
A great man he was with the type of wisdom so rare in Africa. That's why after he left government and unip, Zambia took a downward spiral politically and economically and will not recover from it!
His gifted leadership and intellect is not only visible in his literature works but also in the calibre of Personalities his children have become! All the Kapwepwe children are highly educated incdredible human beings with internationally recognised achievements!
You shall know them by their fruits♥♥♥
I think KK became greedy for power.
I think KK became greedy for power.
Eish,...As a youth Aspiring Politician this has really hit me hard. I feel Kapwepwe if given the chance would have really done things differently. If i ever form a Political Party one day, it will be called The United Progressive Party (UPP) and It will be dedicated to Kapwepwe and His political ideologies. He was indeed an underated Political and Pan African Genius. Wish i learnt this in school.
As an aspiring politian please dont forget the principle of power and who you are doing it for. And see how standards have fallen for politians. Restore the dignity in politics
Thank you very much for the words you have shared
Thank you for sharing that part of History.From the comments,I see many Zambian names resemble Kenyan names...Bantus hoyee....
We are simply one people♥♥♥
What a beautiful narration, great leaders they were indeed. The end brought tears in eyes what a great history thank you bro
Great narration, great script, great telling of our history
Thank you very much
Great history which I never learned at school
Like many a potential great president, he did not get a chance. Thanks for the great lesson of an icon of our history.
I wonder why they don't teach this on schools 🤔, keep up the great work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you very much, and we have to teach our future generation the stories of our fathers and mothers
Our syllabus needs to change, I didn't know anything about this
Yes that is true
This puts our history in its right perspective.Very inspirational indeed
Thank you very much will keep the work
The more I dig into history the less KK comes out as the "Great man" the country has been raised to believe
No, KK is a great leader who had short comings but i will do a video of the great man
My belief is that Kapwepwe is greater than KK
Thank you. Learnt and enjoyed this video. Very educative
You are welcome and it was an honour
Very refreshing indeed. We mist on multipatism when it was needed the most. However, we too have some history to write by either worsening the situation or making it better
The beauty is in us realising that we can write our own history now and shape our own future
True leader the father of hard working daughters, Sampa, Chilufya, Chileshe, Mulenga, etc. All what the big man said has come to pass. Kapwepwe supported preservation of culture and indigenous forms of farming. He differed with the Kaunda government and he strongly felt that in Africa we shouldn't adopt systems of governance of our colonial oppressors. Its unfortunate that he was oppressed by his once bossom friend Kaunda himself (Fonkofonko). Real heros never die. May his rest in eternal peace.
It is a heart breaking to see how our fore father's believes uniting the country but today is the same platform they are using to preach division and certain members are cheering them
You have done it again! Great content and a superb piece of work. Learnt so much from this short piece. Well done 👏
Thank you very much for the encouraging words and you will enjoy tye upcoming video series
Well UNIP saw to it that no one else's story apart from that of KK and those who sang his praises was told. The dangers of being praise singers. Led to Zambia's arrested development. We would have had multiparty politics long before the screaming youths of today were born. They would have been born into it.
Thats very true but we have to continue telling the stories of our heroes
Yep we sure have to, and lets tell more 👏👏👏
@@chileshemusaba1203 you are right
Continuos survyiñg Zambia forward
His excellency President Kapwepwe rest in peace...he played his roll as a founding father of mother Zambia. Shalome my fallen hero.
He is truly our hero
This is the history we supposed to be learning in school,nombafye kusambililafye pafintu ifishakwata nencito😏
This has to be part of of school lessons
This is the kind of history we want in our curriculum and we are tired of Benito Mussolini and Adolf hilter
Yes are right
Zambia, African going back to the roots is the key. We have lost our culture,our language, our God the God of our ancestors,we are worshiping the God of the foreigners.The God the same colonials brought to us and this is why we are not enjoying the fruits of our land.
This man was a rare gem with a different brain. How I wish he lived longer like some of his friends we saw physically.
This is what we need to teach to our children. Fearless man he was and not our current leaders who think investors are more important that is the owners of the land.
Can't there sprout a leader , who is so ironic to defend our land?
Mmmmm.......Simon.......
It's like the funeral to mourn him has just began for me.
He was not just a politician he was a philosopher, a leader, a vision and idealist who can guide us into the future, truly an honor to have a Zambian with such magnitude
We are together brother. We've become puppets of the west, selfish and arrogant.
This man stood for Zambia and put her before himself. What a legend.
I learned more from here some of our teachers were making a summary of summaries thank you.
You are welcome and am honoured
What a legend 😢RIP 🪦 Simon M Kapwepwe
Wow what a leader Zambia lost back then... But thanks to president Micheal Chilufya Sata the 6th Zambia republic president for naming the current built "Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe international airport" right there in Ndola .
Such leaders need to be emulated always... Surely the history of Africa defines who we are and not the western culture 🙅🏾♂️🌍. continue to R.I.P mr Kapwepwe🙏
Thats true
Thank you for this video helping us understand why we not as great as we should have been.
You are very much welcome
What a man. What a leader.
This is powerful history that we dint have in all the 12 yers of school
Thank you very much i will produce more videoa like this
I have learnt a lot things and enjoy the story about Zambia my country
Thank you very much and please subscribe and you will enjoy greater content.. Promise
Waw.. I'm in Diaspora came across this video it has moved my hair my roots my home mother land I would like to meet you and lean more of which I missed in school we weren't told the whole truth let's be proud. ❤️
Thank you very much this means alot and we can meet when ever you would love to...
Great great History if a statesman.
Thank you, i will tell more stories like this
18:38 Simon knew what would happen if we became too reliant on "investors". What a guy!
He was a true visionary
What he said is happening.They are coming as investors,like Robert Mugabe said they also come as NGOs.We got to be wise like Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe.
Greetings from Zimbabwe, in school were where only taught about Kenneth Kaunda.
What a man, my personal hero. Your channel is a gem, and I believe every Zambian should watch this video. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you very much and very much humbled by your words
This is real history with relevance.
What garlant leader
Learning things teachers teach for 3years in 30 minute
Thank you very much and will continue to make great content
Wonderful history we need to be updated
Great content. We need more stories to be told about our nation and her history.
Thank you very much and will surly do more content about our country
Kaunda robbed us of this intelligent man.
He could have been great for Zambia
If Kaunda had stepped down in 1978 & allowed Kapwepwe to take over ,Zambia wound have taken a spin for the positive.
“It will be a foolish man who would accompany any man to go and buy his own coffin “ Simon Kapwepwe . Powerful 💪🏾💪🏾
The most painful part of History subject in zambia is to be asked to explain why German lost the first world war. It hurts😢
That's true...
@@ChannelTENthousandBC ❤️
If not for Kaunda's wicked treacherous cunning, Kapwepwe would have emerged President in the 70s and he would have been the greatest President in African history!
That might be true but am still learning about K.K
Thank you for sharing, I love the archive footage used.
You are very much welcome
Great documentary!👏👏❤️🇿🇲
Powerful 🔋 my Country my home 🏡 ♥️
Am a proud Zambian and Zambianist 😆🇿🇲🇿🇲♥️♥️♥️
Very Educative
Thank you very much
Kaunda was the face of the independece movement but Kapwepwe was the brain, it ws Kapwepwe who actually formulated the One Zambia One Nation Motto, he also personally penned down the lyrics of the National Anthem and designed the Flag!
Wow i didnt know that.. Wow i will do more videos of our great leaders in future. Please stay glued to the channel
This is misleading, Kapwepwe did not write Zambia's national anthem. Following independence in 1964, the Zambian government in 1973, having used "Nkosi Sikeleli Africa" for over 9 years, decided that new lyrics be set to the tune of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" that would reflect the Zambian context. Thus a national competition was held for the new words. However, none of the entries were deemed good enough to be used in full for the anthem. As a result, six of the entries were merged to create "Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free", and the entrants selected were awarded prizes. The authors credited for the composition were G. Ellis, E.S. Musonda, J.M.S. Lichilana, I. Lowe, J. Sajiwandani and R.J. Seal. Stop lying..
@@ChannelTENthousandBC he's lying, Kapwepwe didn't design the flag nor write the national anthem..
The national anthem was written by a South African! Please get your facts right.
@@maureenbellamy1022 you are the one who needs to get your facts right! It is the tune that was gotten from the song 'Nkosi Sikeleli Africa' written by Enoch Santonga a South African, the tune not the lyrics! If you compare the Zambia and South African National anthems the tune is the same but the lyrics are different!
Kapwepwe penned down the lyrics of the Zambian anthem while the tune came from Nkosi Sikeleli Africa!
Impressive masterpiece...
Thank you very much and will try to keep it up
Wow for a long time asking who named the Northern Rodesia to Zambia and where did the name Zambia came from??? Thanks for the research ... I'm happy
You are welcome its was good researching about our history

Kudos to you bro 🎉 amazing work. Zambia ku calo 🌍
Thank you very much, this means alot to me
@@ChannelTENthousandBC you're welcome. Keep up the great work.
KK ensured that Simon n Harry never get the chance to rule mother Zambia but him
Yes KK did consolidate power to himself
Heroes of Independence struggles who we seem to forget easily!!
As long as the internet will be there, Zambia will never forget
Fun fact 'Kapwepwe' means 'very small child' , on the other side of the Zambezi river in Zimbabwe.
Thank you very much for that insight
Is it not kacheche?
Great history
Thank you very much
We learn more about western history than we do about ourselves.....ine I knew more about otto- von bismarck, David Livingstone... and the scramble for Africa than I did about African leaders.. I had to start looking for books about Africa after G12... it's sad, I hope our education system changes mweh😭😭😭
I really hope so...i hope it changes
Thank you father
The content is on point..
Thank you very much
This video was very well done👏...wow
Thank you very much, i truly appreciate it
Very informative sir, keep them coming
Thank you very much, there is more to come
If we don't handle our independence very well, colonisers will come back in form of investors Simom Mwansa Kapwepwe
He was more than a politian, he was also a freedom fighter
They must do away with this useless curriculum. Sure. This is the history we must be taught not the useless European and American history
Yes that's true and am working on some great docs about Zambia
You should give this to Znbc
I will surly do that and thank you
