The 'Zambian African National Congress' was a political organisation dedicated to promoting the rights of black people in
Zambia. ZANC was formed in
1958, following a split from the
Northern Rhodesian African National Congress. The president of ZANC was
Kenneth Kaunda. In
1959 the party was banned. The following year, after his release from prison, Kaunda joined the
United National Independence Party.
