Frontline States: Nyerere and Kaunda’s Unsung Alliance

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” — Galatians 6:9 NKJV Julius Nyerere of Tanzania and Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia both led newly independent nations. Yet they devoted resources and risked stability to support liberation movements across southern Africa. Tanzania hosted the ANC headquarters and training camps.

Their sacrifice yielded freedom for South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Angola. May we find strength to persevere in unseen work, trusting that in due season we will reap.
