HH: Anderson Mazoka – Friend, Mentor and Inspiration

Today we gather to celebrate the life of a great man, a man who had a strong sense of purpose and a man who was an inspiration to many, myself included.

It is 10 years since Anderson Kambela Mazoka passed; yet his words are still on our lips, his ideas continue to resonate and his legacy endures. This man was a true leader, not just in politics but across many walks of life.

During his time among us I was often struck by his dedication and his drive. His readiness to take on a challenge, even if it would be far from easy but believing it the right thing to do, was inspirational. My memory of him will always be of a humble, charismatic and hard-working man showing what can be achieved with vision and planning.

To my friend and my mentor, may you continue to rest in peace knowing your dream lives on. I pray that we will make you proud and honour your memory in continuing on that path you had set out for us.

Rest In Peace Andy K.
