'''Donald Siwale''' (1878-1983) was a prominent Zambian nationalist and politician who played a key role in the fight for Zambia's independence. As an influential figure in Northern Rhodesia's pre-independence political movements, Siwale contributed to the early political organisation and advocacy that laid the groundwork for Zambia's liberation from British colonial rule in 1964. He was the first teacher and freedom fighter to have come from [[Nakonde district]] and the first one to translate the English Bible to [[Namwanga people|Namwanga]]. | '''Donald Siwale''' (1878-1983) was a prominent Zambian nationalist and politician who played a key role in the fight for Zambia's independence.
