President Jacob Zuma has extended his sympathies to the people of Zambia following the death of their former president.
|||President Jacob Zuma has extended his sympathies to the people of Zambia following the death of former president Frederick Chiluba, the department of international relations and cooperation said on Saturday.
“On behalf of the government and people of South Africa, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathies to the government and people of the Republic of Zambia as they try to come to terms with the loss of their own,” Zuma said in a statement.
Chiluba, 68, who ruled the country from 1991 to 2001, died at his home early on Saturday.
He had been suffering from heart and kidney problems.
Chiluba's image was tainted by a lengthy corruption trial, stemming from abuse of authority and theft of public funds amounting to US 500,000 while in office.
He was acquitted of the charges in 2008. -
