February 1965 - Once Upon A Time Lusaka Had A Big

February 1965 - Once Upon A Time Lusaka Had A Big, Big Statue - Lusaka's statue of Phiysical Energy was unveiled by the British Queen Mother four years ago amid the usual pomp and ceremony. Speeches were made about how the bronze figure of a horse and rider - dominating spacious King George V Avenue - would remain forever as a memorial to Cecil Rhodes and the work of the British South Affican Company in the then- Northern Rhodesia. Though Rhodes and the B. S. A Company are now a bit our of fashion in Zambia, this was not the reason why Lusaka City Council decided that the horse and rider should bite the Zambian dust.
