Thursday, July 20, 2017
Zambian media say 93-year-old Kenneth Kaunda, the country’s independence leader and former president, is hospitalized.
State broadcaster ZNBC reported Wednesday that Kaunda was admitted Tuesday evening to the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, the capital.
ZNBC quotes Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya as saying Kaunda is in stable condition after “minor complaints” and could leave the hospital “soon”.
Kaunda led Zambia from independence in 1964 until 1991 when he and his party lost the election.
