Guy Scott, pictured above with his wife and the
Obamas, was sworn in yesterday as the interim president of Zambia following the
death of Zambian president Michael Sata yesterday October 28th.
This makes Mr Scott, who is of Scottish descent
but born in Zambia, the first white president in Africa since apartheid.
Guy Scott, 70, became vice-president of Zambia
in 2011 and will serve as interim-president pending when the country holds
fresh elections for a new president within 90 days. The Zambian constitution
makes it impossible for Scott to be president because his parents were not born
in Zambia.
