Writethru: Zambia's opposition leader ordered to leave late
President's funeral proceedings
LUSAKA, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Zambian First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa
has ordered opposition Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata to
leave late President Levy Mwanawasa's funeral proceedings at Chipata
Airport in Eastern province, accusing him of politicising the
mourning, Times of Zambia reported Tuesday.
The First Lady who had accompanied the body of the late president
on Monday told Sata to leave the funeral proceedings because he had
only reconciled with Mwanawasa and not with the members of the
family.
