...and Zambia gets a White President...

Guy Scott (pictured above with his wife and the Obamas) was sworn in today as the interim president of Zambia following the death of Zambian president Michael Sata yesterday Oct. 28th. This makes Mr Scott, who is of Scottish descent but born in Zambia, the first white president in Africa since apartheid.

Guy Scott, 70, became vice-president of Zambia in 2011 and will serve as interim-president pending when the country holds fresh elections for a new president within 90 days. The Zambian constitution makes it impossible for Scott to be president because his parents were not born in Zambia.

  20. This goes a long way to tell us that almost anything is possible irrespective of your age, qualifications and background. I hope we all learn for this.

  21. If he is the interim president he has become a president and therefore unconstitutional. Nature abhors vacuum. Ernest Sonekan was interim president and he has always been counted as one time president of Nigeria

  23. Now i wish i were Zambian... i am not saying because he is white the country would be better but after years of studying governance in Africa i have come to conclude that African black leaders have issues...serious issues. Imagine a Nigeria with Independence in the 90's or maybe year 2000 we won't be in this mess. We like to travel abroad not because it's fantastic but the ORDER and DISCIPLINE that exists just blows one's mind.
