President Michael Sata of Zambia has died in London, where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness, three private Zambian media outlets have said.

Reports on the private Muzi television station and two websites, Zambia Reports and Zambian Watchdog, said the southern African nation’s cabinet was about to meet.

Government officials gave no immediate comment. The death of Zambia’s president would necessitate an election within 90 days.

The reports said Sata died on Tuesday evening at London’s King Edward VII hospital. The hospital declined to comment.

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.


May his soul rest in peace.

REALLY? ANOTHER SOURCE PLS

Why e be say most of African's leaders na old men dem dey be? Even the one were e dey contest now in Nigeria na grand pa. Why?

A continent where d good ones r buried by d devils

Good reason why you shouldn't have old men ruling.

GEJ TILL 2019. Waiting his enemies to die same way

Was he one of African sit-tight presidents?

In a UK hospital? Do african presidents understand the importance of symbolism? Poor form on his part.

Kenneth Kaunda seems to be outliving them all! Saw him on tv (i think it was two years ago) even out-dancing GEJ during his visit to Nigeria, and i'm sure he's in his nineties!

Anyway, RIP to President Sata.
