Zambian African National Congress (1958–59)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Zambian African National Congress was a political party in Northern Rhodesia dedicated to promoting the rights of black people.
History
The ZANC was formed by Kenneth Kaunda on 24 October 1958,[1] following a split from the Northern Rhodesian African National Congress led by Harry Nkumbula, which Kaunda regarded as being too moderate.[2] However, it was banned in March the following year and Kaunda imprisoned.[2] Whilst Kaunda was in jail, the United National Independence Party was established as a successor to the ZANC; Kaunda joined the new party upon his release and was elected its president in 1960.[2]
In 1964, after Northern Rhodesia achieved independence as Zambia, the Northern Rhodesian African National Congress renamed itself the Zambian African National Congress.
