The Zambian president, Michael Sata, has died in London
where he was being treated in a private hospital for an undisclosed illness,
the Zambian government has confirmed. Sata died shortly after 11pm on Tuesday at London’s King
Edward VII hospital, the cabinet secretary Roland Msiska said in a statement.
Sata’s wife, Christine Kaseba, and his son, Mulenga Sata,
were at the 77-year-old president’s side when he died, Msiska said.
Sata, 77, left Zambia for medical treatment on 19 October
accompanied by his wife and family members, according to a brief government
statement that gave no further details.
Sata had not been seen in public since he returned to
Zambia from New York in late September.
