A brilliant student, an accomplished lawyer, a reluctant politician, a surprise presidential candidate who was controversially elected and incessantly criticised; Levy Mwanawasa posthumously enjoys high approval ratings. As if he were a prophet, he told some of his confidants that Zambians would only appreciate him when he was gone. Who was he? What did he stand for? What did he set out to achieve in his presidency? How did the people he worked with judge him? Where did he succeed? Where did he fail? What could he have done differently or better? What sort of legacy did he bequeath Zambia? Reginald Ntomba is a Zambian journalist. He has written for several local and international publications. He works as Information Assistant in the Press and Information Section of the delegation of the European Commission to Zambia; and as Communications and Documentation Officer at the international development organisation, Concern Worldwide.
