Zambian President Dies

The southern African nation of Zambia is mourning the death of President Michael Sata, who died on Tuesday in London. President Sata had led Zambia since winning an election in 2011 that ended the 20-year rule of the movement for Multi-party Democracy Party. Sata pledged to fight corruption and help Zambia’s poor, while also working to improve working conditions at mines in Africa’s second biggest copper-producing country. VOA’s Vincent Makori talks with VOA’s Paul Ndiho, who recently returned from Zambia, about the Sata’s death. Later, Paul reports on how the Zambian government has released its final draft constitution to the public as Zambians reflect on 50 years of freedom from colonial rule. The southern African nation has been fairly stable for most of its post-independence, with an economy recently classified by the World Bank as a lower-middle-income nation.
