By 43%-36% margin, Michael Sata has been elected president of Zambia, defeating incumbent Rupiah Banda.

“This government will be governed on the Ten Commandments,” pledged Sata. “For the first time this country has a Catholic president, and our government will support the Church.”

33% of the nation’s 12.5 million people are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics.

certainly doesn’t speak well that he praises that guy. i have a friend who lives in south africa and she is always telling me how crazy he is. perhaps the new zambian president feels differently now. 🤷
