[1] After independence in 1964, the new Government Cabinet was composed almost entirely of alumni of Munali Secondary School.
Early members of the original teaching staff included: W.C.Little, P.K.Stevenson, Bill Shakspere and H.T.
(There was no apartheid as such in Northern Rhodesia, but until 1964 education was racially segregated, with separate schools for whites, blacks, "Indians" and "Cape Coloureds").
The school produced the entire 1964 Independence Cabinet of the first Republican President of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, who himself is a former "Munalian".
12M was known as the Kim Jong Il Class, named after the first President of the North Korea.
The class had temporarily received financial support from the North Korean Embassy[when?].
It only recently became a secondary school again after the education system was reorganised by the late President Michael Sata.
The school's current and former clubs include Scripture Union, Munali News Agency, Commerce, Young Scientific researchers, Children's Rights Club(CRC), Red Cross, Anti-AIDS, Drama, ZICTA, Anti-Corruption, JETS and TEVO.
