Mulungushi is a river (and a small town nearby) in central
Zambia which has taken on a symbolic and historical meaning synonymous with the independence and identity of the nation. The name has been given to a number of events, localities, buildings and organisations, including:
Mulungushi Hall, an international conference and convention centre, used also as an official reception centre by the Zambian government, and the site of several conferences and negotiations of the independence and anti-apartheid movements in southern Africa;
Mulungushi House, a large office building in Lusaka, home to government departments and businesses;
The Mulungushi River area was also the site of a training camp for
Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army fighters in the 1970s sometimes referred to as the 'Mulungushi camp' but this was not an official name and it was not related to the Zambian use of the name.
