AVAP Executive Director Bonny Tembo says the decision taken by the former head of state to attend both gatherings is a true sign that he is a non-partisan father of the nation beyond political affiliation.

Mr. Tembo told  QFM that the leadership exhibited by the first republican president should be emulated by other leaders in the country.

He has urged Dr. Kaunda to extend his noble gesture and attend other conventions that will be organized by other political parties in the country.

Mr. Tembo has since appealed to Dr. Kaunda to continue playing an advisory role and not to endorse any leader of a political party in this year's general election.

First Republican President and Cavendish University Chancellor Dr. Kenneth Kaunda has said education is an important key for the country to achieve its economic targets.
Speaking during the 4th graduation ceremony of the Cavendish University in Lusaka today, Dr. Kaunda urged Zambians to invest in education if the country is to achieve meaningful development.
He has however commended government for allowing the private institutions to contribute to the country's education sector.
Dr. Kaunda says Cavendish University will endeavor to ensure that quality education is offered adding that the education remains a cornerstone for the country to attain socio-economic prosperity. 324 students graduated with Masters degrees, Bachelors degrees and post graduate diplomas in various fields of which 19 have graduated with distinctions.
And Dr. Kaunda has urged the graduates to use their qualifications to contribute positively to the country's economy.
