By jana alishafariki maskini, hata mie nilipata hizo habari kutoka chanzo cha kuaminika. Ilikuwa ni formalities tu za kutangaza. Apumzike salama mwanawasa, sote tunaeleka njia hiyo.
 
Msafara wa Mugabe ungekuwa umegonga hata ndama wa ng'ombe tungepata habari za uhakika na ambazo ni detailsed zaidi!
 
Ni kweli Rais Levy Mwanawasa Amefariki "rasmi". Hili nimelithibitisha kutoka Ikulu ya Zambia.

Kamanda wetu, Mpendwa Wetu, Lawi Mwanawasa ulale pema peponi. Amen.

Kifo sio cha kukimbilia kutangaza wala sio cha kukifanyia mzaha, anaweza walichelea kwa vile alishaugua hivyo mara kadhaa na akasurvive, na pia protokali nyingine.
 
RIP Levy Mwanawasa.

Sina amani, sijui ni nani atachukua nafasi yake ambaye atakuwa mwanamapinduzi kama Mwanawasa mwenyewe.

Power to the People...JF Daima.
 
Mrithi ni Vice president Banda ila asije akawa kama Kamuzu

At times like this it's hard to find the words to say, however our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the people of Zambia.

Our comrade and close friend; Mwanawasa has succumbed to the Godly call where all of us without exception are naturally bound. We JF members would like to wish him a heavenly reception by the angles and the ancestry with a vivid solace in our hearts that, someday we are bound to unite. In the interim we will miss our brother / father but still pray for him.

Dear comrade may your soul rest in peace and may the God Almighty accept our prayers and fondliness for you as your cushion.

Your memory will live with us forever
 
JF ni KIBOKO

Zambian president reported dead
3 Jul 2008, 1621 hrs IST,REUTERS

JOHANNESBURG: Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa died in a Paris military hospital on Thursday after suffering a stroke earlier this week, according to a radio report in South Africa, which quoted a Zambian High Commission spokesman.

Officials in Lusaka had no immediate comment.

Mwanawasa, 59, an outspoken critic of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, was rushed to hospital on Sunday in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh after suffering a stroke just before an African Union summit. He was later transferred to Paris for treatment. "He passed on this morning," Malone Zaza, the Zambian high commission spokesman, said.

In Paris, a spokesman for the Armed Forces Health Service declined to comment. "We do not ever confirm or deny the presence of a patient in a military hospital," he said. A spokesman for the Percy Military Hospital also declined to comment.

Mwanawasa chaired the Southern African Development Community, which has been mediating between President Robert Mugabe and the opposition to try to end a political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe. His illness sidelined one of Mugabe's chief regional critics during an African Union summit at which the veteran Zimbabwean leader suffered unprecedented condemnation from some of his peers, including another neighbour, Botswana.

Zimbabwe's neighbours have been flooded with refugees after the once prosperous nation suffered economic collapse. The Zambian leader is a favourite of the International Monetary Fund and other Western donors, who extended billions of dollars in debt relief after he cracked down on government spending and launched an anti-graft drive.

He suffered a mild stroke in 2006 but said before being re-elected that year that he was fit to stand for office. If Mwanawasa is confirmed to have died, Vice President Rupiah Banda or a minister designated by the cabinet would take over for three months before elections would be held, Zambian constitutional experts said.

(Reuters) - Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa died in a Paris hospital on Thursday after suffering a stroke earlier this week, a South African radio station reported, quoting a Zambian embassy spokesman.

Following are some facts about Mwanawasa.

* Born on September 3, 1948, the burly and emotional Mwanawasa built his reputation as a lawyer for the former opposition, cultivating an earthy image in the process.

* Mwanawasa suffered a stroke just before an African Union summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He was rushed to hospital there and later taken to Paris.

* He chaired the Southern African Development Community and was a leading critic of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, whose widely condemned re-election in a one-candidate vote was a key topic at the summit.

* Mwanawasa became vice president in 1991 after Frederick Chiluba ousted founding President Kenneth Kaunda in landmark multiparty elections.

* He stunned observers soon after winning the presidency in late 2001 by turning on Chiluba and then won vocal Western support for launching the biggest anti-corruption drive since Zambia won independence from Britain in 1964.

* He narrowly defeated opposition leader Michael Sata in a presidential election in 2006. Sata accused Mwanawasa of selling out Zambia to Chinese and Indian companies.

* Mwanawasa has become a favourite of the International Monetary Fund and other Western donors who have extended billions of dollars in debt relief after his crackdown on government spending and anti-graft drive. Continued...
