1966 - End Of The Road For The Litunga - The Litunga
1966 - End Of The Road For The Litunga - The Litunga OF Barotseland, Sir Mwanawina Lewanika always hoped that the road to Zambia's Independence would lead to him to a position of power. He sheltered under the British flag; surrounded himself with the trappings of tradition, but the broad road ahead led to a dead end. But all of these for midable upheavals none appeared more insoluble that the seemingly endless struggle with the 47 years old feudal ruler of Barotseland, Sir Mwanawina Lewanika the third, Knight of the British Empire. Sir Mwanawina trouble was that his ageing eyes refused to, accept the change that was taking place around them. He had Kaunda arrested in his area during the nationalist struggle - supposedly for being an undesirable influence on my people (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
