LUSAKA, January 3: Zambia’s former President Kenneth Kaunda defied the conditions of his house arrest in Lusaka to address his supporters and talk to journalists. “It is not Kaunda on trial, it is (President Frederick) Chiluba on trial,” Kaunda told cheering supporters on Friday in the Lusaka High Court, before a hearing to challenge his house arrest. “We have a good case, let us fight it peacefully. We are bound to win,” he added, as the group of about 50 supporters booed policemen who tried to prevent him from speaking.
