Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika on Thursday expressed great sorrow at reports that his “dear brother and friend” Zambian President Levi Mwanawasa, aged 59, had died at a French military hospital in Paris on Tuesday.
Mwanawasa’s death had robbed Zambia, Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the entire African continent of a man who believed in and fought for unity and solidarity among all Africans, Mutharika said.
“In addition, he worked hard to promote friendship and cooperation between the people of Zambia and Malawi. His legacy will live forever,” he said.
The government and people of Malawi send their deepest condolences to the Zambian first lady Madam Maureen Mwanawasa, children, relatives and the entire nation of Zambia, he concluded.
