'''Charles Lupiya Buster Mando''' (4 November 1950 — 11 May 1990) was a [[Zambia]]n prolific [[broadcaster]] and presenter of the Sunday Interview on [[Zambia Broadcasting Services]] (now [[ZNBC]]). He was known for his extraordinary courage of probing high profile personalities such as politicians. One iconic interview was when he featured the Head of State [[Kenneth Kaunda]] on the Sunday Interview and asked him a very daring question, to which the president responded, "Do you realise that I can have you fired, Charles?” To everyone's surprise, Mando responded, “Mr President, you have not answered my question.” | '''Charles Lupiya Buster Mando''' (4 November 1950 — 11 May 1990) was a [[Zambia]]n prolific [[broadcaster]] and presenter of the Sunday Interview on [[Zambia Broadcasting Services]] (now [[ZNBC]]).
