GLENDA & SIKOTA WINA & PRINCESS NAKATINDI AND INONGE WINA
#thread
In the picture, we have Glenda Puteho McCoo and Inonge Wina, Zambia's Republican Vice President from 2015 to 2021
This phonograph was taken in 1963 when Inonge Wina (in white top) with Glenda McCoo (in black top) visited Northern Rhodesia in 1963 from Los Angeles California where they were studying.
Glenda Mcoo an American student, was fiancée to veteran freedom fighter Sikota Wina and had come to Zambia on an “Operation Crossroads” team which worked at Chalimbana near Lusaka.
Inonge Wina was married to freedom fighter and Sikota Wina’s brother, Arthur.
Glenda was Sikota Wina's first wife, before they divorced and In 1971, Glenda Wina returned to Los Angeles with her daughter, Mpambo.
It is said Mpambo was their adopted daughter or Sikota Wina's daughter from a previous relationship but this is not clear.
Sikota Wina was to later marry Princess Nakatindi Nganga.
At the height of his romance with Princess Nakatindi in the early 1970s, Sikota Wina disappeared from his ministerial duties for several days until Dr Kenneth Kaunda used the intelligence wing to locate him? He was spending some quality time with his soon to be wife.
In his heyday Sikota Wina was famously called the Cow Boy and a lot of women wanted him according to the late Princess Nakatindi Wina.She had to beat and scatter them to get her man.
Back to Glenda. When she returned to the US, she became the first African-American news anchorwoman with a network owned and-operated television station in Los Angeles, KNXT, and one of the first specialist reporter-editors in health and science.
She taught journalism at the University of Southern California (USC) and also freelance, with, among others, GW International and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke. Wina co-hosted the PM Show with Mario Machado.
Glenda Wina (as she is known) has also had small acting roles in some American movies and TV series, most notably as a reporter in Cobra (1986 movie starring Sylvestor Stallone).
Glenda Wina is also elder sister of American actress and singer Marilyn McCoo

KACHASU: A Menace to Society?
#Thread Image
Amayi Ngulube, a toothless middle aged uneducated mother of 5, from the backwaters of Misisi township supports her children by brewing the illicit beer – kachasu.
Favoured by unskilled laborers, and the vagabonds of the neighbourhood for its low cost and potency – kachasu is strong enough to even grow a hair on a young boys chest.

When Rupiah Banda Ruled Namibia
Rupiah Banda was indeed a solid diplomat with vast experience of managing conflicts and running countries. The man possessed such an admirable CV but he, unlike some people, never boasted about it.
How many Zambians for example know that Mr Banda was in charge of Namibia for many years while the liberation movement of that country SWAPO led by Sam Nujoma battled colonialists in the bush?

ADAMSON MUSHALA: A villain or a hero? Photo of Adamson Mushala
Adamson Bratson Mushala was killed late in 1982 in a military ambush near Solwezi, in the remote reaches of Northwestern Province, where his bizarre story began with a post-independence dispute in the 1960's and ended with a bullet through the eye.
His death culminated a protracted, if low-key, army campaign whose failures had become as much a part of the national fabric as had the mythology surrounding the man.

#Thread
Today when we talk of the people who stood up for the struggle of Zambla’s independence from the British we usually talk mainly male characters like Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe, Mainza Chona, Kenneth Kaunda etc and yet there is one woman who also sacrificed just as much.
She is an individual who sacrificed and paid a big role in mapping out the road of freedom for Zambia and is now almost forgotten or completely unknown by many in the young generation.
