Get a copy: Book on the late Michael Chilufya Sata to be launched on 7th July

By Winston Muleba Jr, Ndola 

A memoir on the Fifth Republican President of Zambia, Michale Chilufya Sata has been published by two authors: Kasonde Mwenda C and Mubanga B. Sata. 

The book is scheduled to be formally launched between 09:00hrs to 20:00hrs on 7th and 8th July 2017 at Mandahill Mall, Lusaka and its title is ‘Passion Indelible’ with a tagline ‘cry for yourself, do not cry for me’. 

The long awaited memoir has been pegged at a price of only K200. 

The summary of the book states that the late Michael Chilufya Sata was a father, a friend, a nationalist dedicated to service; to others he was a ruthless venomous viper, an enigma, a shrewd populist politician. 

Yet in all his giving and misgivings, it is irrefutable even by his adversaries that he was a very passionate and determined man whose shadow left an indelible and relentless mark. 

Raised as a commoner in the peripherals of Zambia’s elusive egalitarian society, he sprouts like a weed by the wayside that grows fruits to be enjoyed by many. 

He fell in love with the nation but before the nation could fall in love with him, he had traversed a path full of disappointments and setbacks whose pilgrimage makes the frame of this book. 

His farewell words -‘cry for yourself, do not cry for me’- In all his life time he kept knocking and asking until even the most unlikely of doors opened and thus enshrined his name in the book of Zambia’s political reckonings as one who walked the talk. 

He will forever be remembered as Zambia’s fifth Republican President who rose from the ashes every time he failed until he conquered.
