Kaunda started out as a basketball player and was unknown until Rangers signed him on as a goalkeeper. The tall and solidly built Kaunda then developed into an international class shot stopper and made his debut when Zambia played Algeria in a CAN qualifier in Algiers in June 1977, ahead of regular goalkeeper Vincent Chileshe. Although Zambia lost 2-0, they reversed the score line two weeks later in Lusaka through a Godfrey Chitalu brace.Kalwisha, Wellington. “We’ve done it – at last!” Zambia Daily Mail, 27 June 1977, p.8
