Guy Scott, previously vice president under the recently deceased former Zambian President, Michael Sata, 77, has officially been appointed as Acting President of Zambia.


President Scott is now the first white president of any African nation since Former President FW de Klerk conceded power to Nelson Mandela in 1994. He had presided over several official functions in the absence of Former President Sata, but was never appointed acting president until earlier today.

Former President Sata died late on Tuesday in a London hospital after a long bout of illness.

President Scott will now look to complete the last 3 months of Former President Sata’s term. However, it is unlikely that he will be eligible for the coming round of elections due to constitutional stipulations affecting his citizenship.

read the post again.. The op said since after De Clerk handed over to Nelson Mandela meaning since 1994. He doesnt mean since Africa started; after all, all south african president prior to Mandela were all whites...

Africans seem to have not learnt from the apartheid that ravaged South Africa and even Zimbabwe. It seems Zambia does not understand why Robert Mugabe of neighbouring Zimbabwe collected the fertile lands that the white farmers stole from them. I am schooling in England and I have been to South Africa. You need to see how the majority of black South Africans are locked in poverty in the townships (ghettos) and how the so-called whites live in the posh areas, drive the fancy cars, own all the big corporations and molest poor little black girls. If you cannot visit the country physically, visit via the internet. Do your research and see the plight of blacks vs that of whites in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Having lived in England for 5 years now, I can say that whites are never happy when blacks seem to be doing well. We blacks have to be careful before we lose our homeland. If that happens we will be outcasts not only abroad but in our own home too.

Well. Those countries are not white. They are arabs and blacks. I wonder why some people refer light skinned people(Arab and Asians) to white
