Prayers for Our President

A nationwide prayer for the recovery of Zambia's President Levy Mwanawasa, 59, was held on 6th July 2008 (Sunday). Zambia, having adopted Christianity as its official religion, has on that day witnessed citizens filling every pew of churches across the country. From that on a strong wave of national unity prevails upto this day. And we desire to have God's grace in abundance in days to come.

The Salvation Army Chikankata Mission also organised a moving and compassinate prayer service for His Excellency on 11th July 2008 (Friday). It is our wish and prayer that our beloved President recovers and be in the service of the nation again.

The President had suffered a fatal stroke in Egypt, on 29th June 2008 (Sunday) ahead of an African Union summit. From there he was flown to Paris, France where he was treated (operated) at a millitary hospital.

For the records:
* He is currently chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
* He has come to international prominence recently for being one of the African leaders most critical of the violence in Zimbabwe, where President Robert Mugabe won the recent controversial polls. As chairman of SADC, he said he sympathised with Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai when he withdrew from the run-off because of attacks on his supporters.
* Mr Mwanawasa won a second term in 2006. He is a favourite of the International Monetary Fund and other Western donors, who had extended billions of dollars in debt relief after his crackdown on government spending and launch of an anti-graft drive.
* His health has always been an issue during his presidency.In April 2006 he suffered a minor stroke four months before general elections.
* When he was vice-president in the 1990s he was involved in a near-fatal road accident which left him with slurred speech.
* Mr Mwanawasa has famously fallen out with his predecessor, Frederick Chiluba, who had handpicked him to lead the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD).
* His critics accuse him of persecuting his political rivals under the guise of fighting corruption.
* He has been a practising lawyer since 1973. In his most famous case, he defended former Vice-President Lt-Gen Christon Tembo and others, who were charged in 1989 with plotting to overthrow Kenneth Kaunda.
* He is married and has six children.
