The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) says it is saddened over the death of Republican President Michael Sata.
President Sata died on Tuesday night in the United Kingdom after an illness.
FAZ vice President Boniface Mwamelo said the football fraternity was shocked over the passing away of President Sata.
“We are saddened with the passing away of his Excellence PresidentMichael Sata. He supported us as FAZ and the national team,” Mwamelo said.
The late head of state was the patron of FAZ.
“We won the 2012 Africa Cup under his leadership. We send our condolences to the first family and the entire nation,” Mwamelo added.
Secretary to the Cabinet Dr. Rowland Msiska confirmed President Sata’s death on Wednesday morning.
MHSRIP … and may the good Lord continue to bless the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise.
Iyo twabalila Ba Kateka. It’s so sad though. “Ask dem, ask dem. You are the so-called reporter, ask dem. Ati ba reporter”. We will surely miss Ba Sata.
Rename Lusaka as Michael Sata town as the minimum of accolades to be
given to him IF it is true he has passed on
Thanks
@BR, remove your bullshit smile. You are spoiling the funeral. So annoying.
@Nostradamus unfortunately life does not come to a standstill when someone passes away! Why fault the brother for his infectious smile! We mourn because we want to bring comfort to those who are left behind! As for Mushota suggesting, a two month National Mourning, she must be either deranged or is delirious! Lets learn to accept reality! Don’t mourn the Bemba way…..”Nomba nani ukalanshitila sugar mayo!!!!!”
