Alick Nkhata: Difference between revisions

After his retirement from the [[Zambia Broadcasting Services]] in 1974, Nkhata settled at his farm in [[Mkushi District]] where he continued to play music occasionally. The farm he bought was among what were called abandoned farmlands which white farmers had left in the hands of the lands board. On 19 October 1978, he was driving back from Mkushi South, presumably from a hunting expedition, when he came into the full wrath of Ian Smith’s Rhodesian military invaders. His vehicle was sprayed with bullets, in what looked like an ambush in an area cordoned off during the attacks at [[Mkushi camp]], where Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZPRA) fighters were stationed. He was driving a Land Rover 109, which made him a likely target as that kind of vehicle was mostly used by security forces and government departments at that time.
