President SATA’s Death Affects Africa –Ramaphosa
South Africa Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says the death of President Sata hurts and affects the African continent.
Mr Ramaphosa said after paying his last respects at State House on Monday that Africa has lost a true leader in President Sata.
“The passing on of President Sata hurts and affects us very deeply because we have lost a true leader in our African continent. We hope the people of Zambia will find peace in themselves on the passing of President Sata,” he said.
Mr Ramaphosa said it is moments like death that help people and countries unite.
“Despite all this, we believe that moments like this help to bring us closer together. They strengthen us and increase our resolve to continue the good relations between our two nations, countries and the two peoples,” he said.
Mr Ramaphosa said South Africa’s history with Zambia traces back to early days of that country’s “darkest days” of struggling for independence.
He said Zambia helped South Africa to build democracy.
“That is why we are here. The [South Africa] First Lady is also here, South Africa’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations is also here.
“We have come to demonstrate our good relations and condolences to the people of Zambia,” Mr Ramaphosa said.

Colonialists are back in NGO dress, warns Mugabe
ZIMBABWEAN President Robert Mugabe has warned that colonialists and imperialists are coming back to Africa in the form of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). And Mugabe, who is also Southern African Development Community chairperson, advised politicians not to aspire to run government for their personal interests. Speaking during requiem Mass for president Michael Sata at Heroes Stadium in Lusaka yesterday, President Mugabe said NGOs were not in Africa to help but to study the continent and learn how to control it. “The enemies are coming back and this time, they are not dressed in the colonialist and imperialist dresses, they are dressed in the NGO dress, not as colonialists and imperialists and they are not here to help but they are here to learn how to influence our people,” he said. President Mugabe said NGOs were distributing money so that they could sway the judgment of the poor. “They sway our people by giving them money and all sorts of things.It is happening in Zimbabwe and I am sure it is happening here in Zambia,” he said. President Mugabe said Africa needed to stand together and say no to neo-colonialism.

every time Mugabe addresses a meeting he refers to colonialists and imperialists. I think he is living in the past
