Second President of Zambia Fredrick Titus Jacob Chiluba has died.
Chiluba died of a heart attack in the early hours of today, Saturday, shortly after mid night. His pokeperson Emmanuel Mwamba confirmed that Chiluba died at his home in Kabulonga, in the capital Lusaka.
He explained that Chiluba was with his lawyers most of the time on Friday but only fell ill in the evenning. Doctors checked on him but said it was nothing serious. But at midnight he got serious and died.
Frederick Jacob Titus Chiluba born April 30, 1943 was the second President of Zambia from 1991 to 2002.
Chiluba, a trade union leader, won the country’s multi-party presidential election in 1991 as the candidate of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), defeating long-time President Kenneth Kaunda. He was re-elected in 1996.
His former Vice President Levy Mwanawasa , also late, succeeded him.
After leaving office, Chiluba was the subject of a long investigation and trial regarding alleged corruption; he was eventually acquitted in 2009.
Alikuwa bado ana mwili mzuri, sema huko ndani sijui kwa sababu ya mikesi?
ReplyDeleteHujafa hujaumbika. Tufikirie upito wetu hapa duniani. Chiluba alikuwa na chuki sana dhidi ya Mheshimiwa Kenneth Kaunda kiasi cha kuwa alimvua uraia Mh Dr Kaunda aliyekuwa Rais wa kwanza wa Zambia. Chiluba aliamuru Dr Kaunda aombe uraia upya (ili mradi tu amdhalilishe Mh Kaunda). Mh Kaunda hakufanya ubishi. Isitoshe, Chiluba alimnyang'anya passport mzee Kaunda ili asihudhurie mikutano ya kimataifa. Kama wanavyosema wahenga, Mungu si Athumani. Mwenyezi Mungu ameamua kumchukua kijana Chiluba kabla ya Mzee Kaunda. Hili ni fundisho kubwa sana kwa wenye kufikiri.
ReplyDeleteMungu amsamehe makosa yake. Wakati naishi Zambia Bwana Chiluba alikuwa anaichukia sana Tanzania na alikuwa anawaunga mkono magaidi ya RENAMO dhidi ya serikali ya Msumbiji. Anyway, ameekwisha tangulia mbele ya haki ambako wote hatimaye tutakwenda huko kwa hivyo pamoja na kuichukia nchi yetu na kumchukia hayati Baba wa Taifa letu, tumsamehe Bw Chikuba na tumwombe Mungu amsamehe pia.

ReplyDeletePoleni ndugu zake. Ijapokuwa sukupenda siasa zake huyo bwana bado nimesikitika. Kitu sikufurahi kwake ni yeye kumsapoti Butelezi wa Inkata Fp kuanzia 1991 mpaka April 1994 na kumpinga Mandela na ANC. Hiyo haikumsaidia. VIVA ANC. God bless Mother Africa.
