Zambia | Zambia's first ever online encyclopedia called Chalo Chatu which was launched 1 June, 2016 to the public the encyclopedia aims to preserve the History and Pride of Zambia. In am interview with Jason Mulikita the founder of the online encyclopedia he said "As a country we haven't done so well in documenting our history. If you think about Zambian history , most of it is centered around independence as it was a big political and liberation movement that took place in 1964. But if you try to think and ask anyone about life before that, you will find that there is a blackout. Much of Zambia's history found in the public domain starts around the late 1950, but we know that there was life before that. So we are going as far back as possible to get this information as well as document what's happening in the present day." | ||
