Early life
Simon Kapwepwe was born in the Chinsali district of the Northern Rhodesia's Northern Province of Northern Rhodesia, which then included the present day [Muchinga province]]. Despite Chinsali's remoteness from the country's urban centers, it was a time of early education growth due to two rival missions, the Presbyterian Livingstonia Mission of the United Free Church of Scotland based in Lubwa (next to the Kolwe River from 1913) and the Roman Catholic White Fathers' Mission (based in Ilondola from 1934). David Kaunda of Malawi, the father of Kenneth Kaunda (who became the first African Prime Minister of Northern Rhodesia in 1963 and then the first president of Zambia in 1964), was Chinsali's first missionary. Simon Kapwepwe became the country's second vice president. Kapwepwe began his primary school in Chinsali. At Mwenzo, he did his Standard 3 and 4 for Livingstonia, another project of Livingstonia. He did his Standard 5 and 6 in Lubwa between 1942 and 1943. He became a primary school teacher in Lubwa, Texas, in 1944. He went to Tanganyika in September 1947, looking for work, as well as Kenneth Kaunda and John Malama Sokoni. He became an Assistant Welfare Officer with the Kitwe Municipal Council (location Chingola district) and then a teacher at Wusakile Primary School in Kitwe in June 1948.
