Does Zambia have a clown in their state house?
It’s so sad to read some remarks that the President of Zambia makes in public. During his first days I used to give him the benefit of the doubt that the media had just caught his out of context words and that he was more on the humorous side.
I have picked two remarks made by Sata, which I found to be rather disturbing.
At the Rio+20 world conference on climate change and sustainable development in Rio, Brazil, President Sata who was inviting delegates to the United Nations World Tourism Conference next year had this to say:
“Come to Zambia and see what we have. We will waive some visa requirements and give you a visa on arrival. We have enough water for everyone, including the Greeks and Italians. We have wild animals and there is a lot more to see. The only thing we do not have in abundance is whiskey and that is because whiskey pollutes the environment.” Read story here
On a visit to Zimbabwe to officially open the 53rd Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in Bulawayo, and having arrived at State House for a State Banquet, President Mugabe asked the First Ladies Grace Mugabe and Dr Christine Kaseba to join them for a photo shoot. But President Sata retorted: “Let them wait. After all they joined us later in our lives.” Read story here
