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.
