ZAMBIA: KENNETH KAUNDA FREED FROM HOUSE ARREST
English/Nat
The former Zambian President, Kenneth Kaunda, was freed on Monday after serving five months under house arrest, accused of knowing about plans to overthrow the government.
The High Court in Zambia released Kaunda after state prosecutors dropped the case against him, apparently for lack of evidence.
It had been alleged that Kaunda had prior knowledge of a military coup by junior officers last year.
Until Monday morning, the 74-year-old former president hadn't stepped outside his house since January.
After emerging from the hearing at Lusaka High Court he was mobbed.
Prosecutors said they had dropped their case because of a lack of evidence.
But they entered a plea of 'no prosecution' which allows them to reopen the case if they unearth more evidence.
Kaunda ruled Zambia for 27 years until he was ousted by the voters in 1991.
But he still has the loyal support of many.
As he spoke, the crowd surged towards a defiant Kaunda, who now leads the country's main opposition group - the United National Independence Party.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I said I would not shove (budge) until I was told why I was in prison. Today God has granted it - that I am out. But I have not been told why I was prison for five months and seven days. Why, I still don't know.
SUPER CAPTION: Kenneth Kaunda, Former President of Zambia
Seeming in robust form since his arrest on Christmas day, Kenneth Kaunda did not hold back from mocking the governing party - the
Movement for Multiple Party Democracy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Those ambassadors (politicians) know that the promises of the MMD - (Movement for Multiple Party Democracy) or the Movement for Madrax (a drug) Dealers or the MMD movement for mass destruction, all the promises that they made about accountability, transparency about governors, good governors. All these things, they have forgotten.
SUPER CAPTION: Kenneth Kaunda, Former President of Zambia
Kaunda's bodyguard was released at the same time and quickly took up his position next the ageing politician.
Both men were charged with concealing prior knowledge of a coup attempt by junior military officers that was quickly crushed in October 1997.
Shortly after being released Kaunda took the media to his home where he posed for pictures cradling his grandson.
As he drove through this downtown Lusaka street waving his trademark white handkerchief, he was escorted by thousands of well wishers.

Zambia's First President: Kenneth Kaundas
Kenneth Kaundas's resignation from being a part-time teacher in 1951 marked the beginning of his struggle for an independent Nation from British rule.
However, he was imprisoned in 1955 alongside his colleague with similar ideology for two months for distributing subversive literature.
One may hate it, and another may like it, but Africa’s independence history could be incomplete without Kenneth Kaunda, the first President of Zambia.

Zambia: Former President Kaunda To Be Placed Under House Arrest - 1997
English/Nat
International pressure has forced the Zambian government to move former President Kenneth Kaunda from prison and put him under house arrest.
Kaunda - who stands accused of mounting a coup attempt will also be barred from political activities.
However, it is not yet clear if the 73-year-old former president - considered the father of Zambia's independence - will be released or how long he will continue to be detained.
It was here - to a high-security prison north of Zambia's capital, Lusaka that the country's former President Kenneth Kaunda was taken after his arrest on Christmas Day.
He was jailed on December 25th soon after returning to Zambia from a trip abroad, accused of being behind an October 28th coup attempt.
Here he's meeting former Tanzanian leader, Julius Nyerere, one of many pressuring Zambia's government to either try Kaunda or release him.
The United States, Britain, South Africa, Botswana, Libya and the Organization for African Unity had all called for Kaunda to be put on trial or be released.
And on Wednesday, their appeals seem to have been heard.
In a national T-V address, Zambia's President Chiluba remembered Kaunda's days of greatness.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
To governments in the region, we appreciate their concern. We appreciate their concern about Dr Kaunda, who was our leader during the liberation time. He led Zambia, and we can't take this away from him.
SUPER CAPTION: Frederick Chiluba, President of Zambia
Kaunda will be placed under house arrest, not kept in jail, he said.
But he will face strict restrictions -- including no political activities.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
And so I listened to my elder statesmen and they are saying 'Keep him away from prison' so I called an emergency cabinet meeting last night and I informed them, and we agreed that we will not keep him in prison, we will move him from there and restrict him in his own house so that the former First Lady doesn't have difficulties in seeing my dear elder brother, Dr Kaunda. He will consequently be restricted in his own home but there are conditions on these restrictions and I hope he cooperates because if he doesn't we may be compelled to take him back to where he thinks he must stay.
SUPER CAPTION: Frederick Chiluba, President of Zambia
Kaunda led Zambia to independence from Britain in 1964.
He ruled the southern African nation for 27 years until he lost to Chiluba in the nation's first multiparty elections in 1991.
But it's not clear when the 73-year-old former president, would actually be released.

Zambia - Kaunda appears in court
T/I: 10:33:03
Former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, detained for suspected involvement in a coup attempt, on Friday (2/1) defied a condition for his release from jail into house arrest by verbally attacking his successor in court. Kaunda, who was appearing before the Lusaka high court to contest a state decision to arrest and detain him, told backers in a packed courtroom: It's not Kenneth Kaunda who is on trial, it's President (Frederick) Chiluba who is on trial.
The hearing was later adjourned until Tuesday without any ruling either on formally charging Kaunda or releasing him altogether.
