Русская версияThousands of Zambians have been mourning the death of President
Levy Mwanawasa, as his body returned home on Saturday.
Mwanawasa
was flown in from Paris, where he died last Tuesday following
treatment for a stroke he suffered in Egypt. Mwanawasa will be
given a state funeral on September 3, on what would have been his
60th birthday. The Zambian leader was well respected for tackling
corruption and turning the southern African nation into one of the
