Guy Scott Becomes The First White President Of Post-colonial Africa by mralabs(op): 9:40am On Oct 31, 2014

Trust most Nigerians take on this will be; 'Recolonisation begins' but what if he turns Zambia to Dubai in 6 Months? Let the debate begin.

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.

Two points.

Firstly I do not see this as a route to 'recolonisation'. Guy Scott also has a background that supports Zambian nationalists; his family was very active in the Zambian anti-colonial movements. As it is unlikely that he will be eligible to contest in the elections I think we can look at this as temporary.

Secondly, what are the basis of you assuming he could 'turn Zambia to Dubai in 6 months'? Are you saying this is only achievable with a white man president or colonisation should take credit for the black man's modernization and therefore is the only route to advancement?

How did this white man become vice-president? does anybody know.

Yet another African president dies in office?

new president that comes in is usually more loyal to America /CIA / Europeans.

Lets see if he invites in America's IMF and or does deals to give away Zambia resources. The deceased late president seemed to have ran Zambia well.

Lets wait and see.
