People mourn President Levy Mwanawasa

Various political parties and veteran politicians have expressed deep sorrow and grief at the death of republican President, Levy Mwanawasa who passed on at 10:30 hours this morning in France.

Dr. Mwanawasa suffered a stroke on June 29, this year while in Egypt where he had gone to attend the African Union Summit. He was admitted to Sharm-El-Sheik International hospital before being evacuated to Percy Military hospital in Paris France where he died this morning.

Former Vice President, Enoch Kavindele described the death of Dr. Mwanawasa as a great loss to the nation.

“I am very saddened about the loss of our President. I had the pleasure of working with him”, he said.

Mr. Kavindele hoped that Dr. Mwanawasa’s economic emancipation which he was working for would not be disturbed.

He said Dr. Mwanawasa had devoted his time to fighting poverty in the country which had already borne fruits.

“Zambians must keep calm and maintain peace. The loss of a President in not easy,” he said.[lusakatimes]

Summer is here, and that calls for a lot of changes in the way we dress and eat. For us to be able to stay hydrated, we need to drink a lot of liquids. Water is healthier compared to other liquids. Wearing non-dark clothes, light and not heavy clothes, non long sleeved tops or shirts, and whenever you can, leave your toes exposed to the air. That will help you stay cool and go through summer with less headaches.
