President Michael Sata has sent a message of condolences to the Ghanaian people over the death of President John Evans Atta Mills. This is according to a media statement released by State House.
In a letter to Mr. John Dramani Mahama, the new President of the Republic of Ghana, President Sata expressed shock at the death of President Mills.
“It is with sadness that I have learnt of the death of His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills whose untimely demise is a great loss not only for the people of Ghana, but for the African continent as a whole,” President Sata stated.
“On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Zambia and indeed on my own behalf, I express our deepest condolences to you, the bereaved Family, the Government and the people of the Republic of Ghana.”
The Head of State stated that the late Ghanaian President would be deeply missed.
“President Mills will be remembered as an advocate of democracy and good governance in Ghana, West Africa and the African continent at large; a leader who championed political maturity and economic growth in his country which has seen increased investment opportunities in Ghana. Our brother will be sorely missed by all who knew him for the ideals that he firmly stood for, having dedicated his life to selfless service of the Ghanaian people up to the time of his death,” the President stated.
“During the period of your national mourning, we commiserate with you and join you in spirit, prayerful reflection, and beseech the Almighty to grant the bereaved family and the entire Ghanaian nation his abundant mercy, solace and fortitude to bear the burden of this great loss. May the soul of President Mills rest in eternal peace.”
Sad moment indeed we need a running mate for sure!

Sad time for Ghana.. MHISRIP. God always takes the best
He went on a ‘private visit’ to USA recently, its sad things have come to this .MHSRIP
These mysterious illnesses seem to be endemic to the African Continent. The late Ghanaian President was politically so sound that Ghanaians needed his services for yet another term. MHSRIP. Cancer is a very deadly ailment for which the world must find a lasting cure. However in the SADC region two Presidents in neighbouring countries have sought to conceal the nature of their illnesses by secretly seeking medical attention in Asia at the expense of the Tax payers money. Cancer ailments have no limits, but only God knows its toll.
TB Joshua said it.
President Atta Mills was a rare breed with impressive democratic credentials.He conceeded defeat in a very close election rather than plunge Ghana into turmoil.May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Who died again?
I thought so, I do not care.
Thanks
Sad news for Africa indeed. May his soul rest in peace.
Sad indeed. I am reminded of the loss of Dr. Mwanawasa. In Malawi recently, death struck. Now it’s Ghana. May the soul of President John Evans Atta Mills res in peace.
Mr Sata is the next candidate of death. Step down and seek medical attention, spend time with your loved ones for the remaining time. Prostate Cancer is really a killer I don’t wish you dead but we can not excape from the truth. GUYS MARK MY WORDS.
#9 How often do you visit your doctor for prostate? Atleast your friend you are wishing death will have a national mourning, but you they will just incinerate you to ashes and nobody will read your MARKED WORDS. Lesa ni malyotola.
You are not God, wecant mark your words. You may even die earlier than SATA
#11.1 & 11.2
But this same Sata wished Mwanawasa and George Kunda dead, remember?
#11.3 Distant Drums – Two wrongs do not make a right. If you see someone shitting in the street are you going to do the same?
Sata will tomorrow airlift US$5,000,000 worth of fuel to Ghana and Fred Mmembe will write an editorial praising the donation.
Let the dying moan and burry the dead. Though the classic of “private” visits to India and UK just won’t sell, uno mwaka ku kazimina bebele!
I wish Mushota could die also. He is too ugly to be a girl.
some people will never cease to be ridiculous,this is a sad moment for our friends in Ghana & not putting our own president as the next victim shame on you Mutotela nyo!!!
@9 Only God knows when and what type of death each person will have. This so called mushota she thinks having PhD will make her beautiful. That is why most educated women are ugly like her coz no man waste time on them. MHSRIP for our beloved Ghananians
Africa should elect young Presidents around age 50. Emulate the developed world. Obama 51. Cameron about 45. May his soul rest in peace.
#17 Muyanda you must be a dull lozi, do you know how old was KK when he became president = 40 yrs old.
You know how old is Joseph Kabila, what about the Madagascar DJ President… “developed world” you are there in getto and you say developed you piece of …
A good lesson for guy Scott and winter kabimba who are opposing the inclusion the vice president as running mate clause in the new constitution. As nation we can not be foolish not to discuss death. We have seen from Our brothers in Ghana how seamless the transition has being from one leader to the next one with out a costly presidential by election
we put everything in God’s hands coz he is the ower of every thing and God is not the respecter of man. Bible says for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. MHSRIP.
:-@**==
Mushota’s posts are usually of bad taste. Mushota, I do not agree with those calling you ugly but i wish to urge you to tone down. You Phd has nothing to do with your beauty.
When are we going to realise the the word DEMISE does not sound appropriate. It may mean the same thing as death but It echoes a feeling of mockery.
Umweo waba kuli chibinda. Do not wish others dead for you do not know your demise – only God knows.
