Sikota Wina recounts his early days as a Politician
VETERAN politician Sikota Wina, a longtime resident of Lusaka, says he used to walk on a daily basis from his home in Matero to his workplace at old Freedom House on Cha Cha Cha road despite being a graduate.
Mr Wina said walking to work was not a big deal as there were no minibuses that time and that one was considered rich if they owned a bicycle.

He also remembered how Vice-President Guy Scott’s late father, Dr Alexander Scott, was the first person to build a house in Lilanda and allowed Africans to build houses on his farm.

Thus, in order to maintain their political influence and economic power over the black majority of Northern Rhodesia, white settlers endeavored to strengthen their ties with white-controlled southern Africa bygd forming the Central African Federation.
However, black Afric
