SIMBA Coach, Patrick Phiri said he has received the death of President Michael Chilufya Sata with a great shock and at the moment the nation is at the big lose.
Phiri said that when he left Zambia the president was in a good health and adding that his nation has lost a good man.
"But I wish the president's family God's grace and blessing from the Lord," he said.
The Zambian tactician told The Guardian on Wednesday after his team had played a friendly match with Lipuli FC of Iringa, in which Simba escaped narrowly by beating Lipuli 1-0 at Samora Memorial Stadium in Iringa.
However, Simba SC is camping in Iringa on preparation for the Saturday game against Matibwa Sugar in Morogoro of Vodacom Premier League (VPL).
He praised Lipuli FC for playing very well and adding that it was good side but they have managed to score a goal."We hope this will be same results a we are going to play on saturday in Morogoro with Mtibwa Sugar," he added.
"Zambia has lost a man who was driven by a Passion of Changing the lives of his fellow Zambians. But he hasn't lived to see the fulfillment of his dream of more money in your pockets," Phiri
elaborated.
The Fifth Republican President of Zambia Michael Chilufya Sata passed away in London.
President Sata, who had been receiving medical care in London for the past week, died at approximately 2100 hours local time on Tuesday night.
Just two days earlier, he had checked out of the Harley Street Clinic
to receive private medical care in a central London hotel room.
The president's health had been the subject of numerous conflicting
reports in the media and contradictory statements by Patriotic Front
(PF) government officials for many months.
Recently the president was unable to address the United Nations
General Assembly, and was forced to depart Zambia just two days before the 50th anniversary of independence.
Michael Chilufya Sata was born in 1937 in Mpika, Northern Province. President Sata was a significant figure in Zambian politics for more than 20 years.
The former trade unionist defected from Kenneth Kaunda's United
National Independence Party (UNIP) in 1990 to join the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), and later became Minister for Local Government (1991), Minister of Labor (1993), and Minister of Health (1994) under President Frederick Chiluba.
He was elected president in September 2011 under his own party, thePatriotic Front.
Upon departure from Zambia, his Minister of Defence and Minister ofJustice Edgar Lungu was appointed Acting President, though it is not clear who will serve following his death given a constitutional clause on parentage which may nullify Vice President Guy Scott.
