Description: (Singer)
Lazarus Tembo, a revered Zambian singer, triumphed over blindness in his youth to become a leading figure in the nation's music industry. Transitioning into politics, he served as Zambia's Junior Minister of Culture under President Kaunda's administration. Tembo's impact went beyond music and politics, evident through the Zambian folk music award named after him and his backing of organizations like the Lusaka Nutrition Group. His legacy encompasses significant contributions to the Makeni Ecumenical Centre's early efforts before 1971.
