It is with profound sorrow that I have received the news of the passing of my dear brother, Kaweche Kaunda. In this moment of personal grief, I stand in solidarity with the Kaunda family and the people of Zambia, united in mourning a remarkable son of the soil whose life left a lasting imprint on all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
Brother Kaweche was a trusted confidant and a true partner in purpose. Our engagements, were defined by his clarity of vision, thoughtful insight, and steadfast commitment to excellence.
His counsel was one I held in the highest esteem. His passing marks not only the loss of a brilliant and promising leader, but of a brother whose friendship I deeply treasured.
At a time when his voice and vision were most needed, Africa has been deprived of a principled and forward-looking mind. Yet even in this time of sorrow, we find comfort in the enduring legacy he leaves behind, one of integrity, purpose, and meaningful contribution. May we honor his memory by carrying forward the ideals he so passionately championed, drawing strength from the example he set.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
