SATA’s Son Evacuated To South Africa
PRESIDENT Sata’s son Kazimu has been evacuated to Johannesburg, South Africa, for specialist treatment for injuries suffered in a road traffic accident.
Kazimu was on Tuesday involved in a road traffic accident on the Kitwe-Ndola dual carriageway.
The accident happened around 17:30 hours near Kitwe’s Moba Hotel when the vehicle on which he was travelling overturned.
Ministry of Health permanent secretary David Chikamata confirmed in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Mr Sata, who was earlier admitted at Kitwe’s Wusakile Mine Hospital, was evacuated to South Africa on Wednesday evening.
However, by press time, Dr Chikamata was yet to be availed with the details of the hospital that Kazimu has been admitted to.
“Yes, he [Kazimu] was evacuated last evening [Wednesday] and he has arrived in South Africa. I am, however, yet to get details from the Zambian mission on the hospital he has been admitted to,” Dr Chikamata said.

What’s wrong with Zambian hospitals? Aren’t you embarrassed to run to other countries for quality medical treatment? They should have taken him to Chibólia clinic.

Sad. Wish him a quick recovery. However, this practice of evacuation of a selected few is NOT the way to go. This is an area (medical) where we could have brought in Indian private investors to set up specialised hospitals NOT mining/Vendata or construction. I also do NOT subscribe to the notion/practice of assigning state security to the president’s children who are grown up. I grew up in KK’s days and I remember Cheswa Kaunda attending athletics at Kabwe secondary school in 1976 representing Dominican Convent school as a teenage girl without bodyguards and yet we had Mushala and liberation wars going on those days. What more for a grown up man like Kazimu? Let’s use police to fight crime not as “status” symbols for politicians’ grown up children (men)!

Only a coup will solve the present confusions. Then a democratic process must be set up. It is my hope that the new power will be in hands of those capable to raise the standards of health in the country. Our hospitals are not hospitals but shanty compounds where even doctors hang on mobile telephones while poor patients are dying. No wonder that the elites with enough stollen money can turn around and send themselves to luxury hospitals in South Africa. Which is a shame because you never heard that Fidel Castro has gone to Russia or America for treatment. The reason is that he never stole from his country. But allowed the money to be used for health care for all.
