LUSAKA – Zambian President Edgar Lungu collapsed during the International Women’s Day march past at Heroes Stadium this morning.
His spokesperson Amos Chanda said the Head of State has been diagnosed with malaria but he did not say if the diagnosis was before or after the collapsing. In Zambia Malaria is a very good excuse.
President Lungu later addressed the nation on ZNBC which covered the proceedings live, that he was not feeling well.
“I am not feeling too well, but it is not something that should worry the nation… the proceedings should continue… I will see you tomorrow,” said President Lungu.
The Watchdog has been consistent in revealing that Edgar Lungu is a very sick person and unfit to handle the strenuous work of president.
Before elections, the Watchdog published the following revelations.
Sources: Lungu fell sick Friday night
December 27, 2014
Latest information show that PF candidate Edgar Lungu fell sick last (Friday) night forcing the party to postpone to next week his campaigns. There are fears that he may not even manage to start the programme next week.
On Christmas day, the Watchdog revealed that due to poor health, the campaign programme for PF candidate Edgar Lungu had been severely relaxed, even further.
About ten hours later, the PF responded by releasing a press statement claiming that Lungu would, starting on Saturday December 27, 2014, be holding rallies in diverse places such as Kaputa, Nsama, Mpulungu, Mpika, Chinsali, Mafinga, Nakonde etc…
That was not to be. Like the Watchdog reported and hereby maintains the earlier revelations, Lungu is too sick to mount the type of strenuous campaigns his handlers want to subject him to. Today, when he was supposed to embark on the advertised campaigns, he failed because he got seriously sick the previous day.
Latest information suggest that Lungu could have collapsed last night. Sources say doctors from CFB had to be called in to resuscitate him and advised that him to cancel his campaign program for now.
The doctors said Edgar’s current health problems are a result of alcohol withdrawal. Because of strict media scrutiny during this campaign period Lungu has been forced to keep away from the alcohol to help clean his ‘chakolwa’ image but his body isn’t taking that well. To make matters worse, he took in a ‘few pulls’ at the wedding where he turned up wearing a pimp suit.
Sources say the PF is trying hard to keep the latest ailment, as a top secret because they fear it will seriously damage his already difficult campaigns. Zambian Watchdog
