Guy Scott (pictured above with his wife and the Obamas) was sworn in
today as the interim president of Zambia following the death of Zambian
president Michael Sata yesterday Oct. 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.
