I am not dead declares Zambian president The 77-year-old leader, who until recent campaign events had not been seen in public for three months, appeared with his wife, Christine, whom he thanked for keeping him going. She has made me stay up to now, I am not dead, he said, his voice cracking. Sata took power in 2011 AND is rumoured to be seriously ill, an allegation his office denies. Analysts say a power struggle is already underway behind the scenes for Zambias top job. Satas address Friday was punctuated by jokes, but he did not read the whole address, leaving the full written version for the record. Times Live
