  1. Not enough information. How did he go into hospital? What do doctors say is the problem? When did he come to Zambia? Was he alright for such a long trip? Sky TV and Supersport werereporting he had been driving when he passed out

    • This story is allover Zambian news channels on what happened and where he was going. Pay attention next time
