Both have an esteemed respect for sacrificial engagement, devotion and faith towards god and both have been an ideal family man. While Dr. Mahtani dedicated his life with his business ventures that aimed towards improving the life, economy and social status of the Zambian citizens, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda fought for the independence of the Zambian nation and was regarded as the ‘Father of the Zambian nation & African Union’.
