Newly-elected Zambian president Edgar Lungu has been advised by doctors to undergo specialist treatment abroad to correct a narrowing of the food pipe which caused him to fall ill over the weekend, the presidency said. Lungu, 58, had to leave an International Women's Day event in the capital Lusaka on Sunday when he felt uncomfortable. Lungu assumed the helm of Africa's second-largest copper producer in January after winning a narrow victory in an election to replace former leader Michael Sata, who died in office in October aged 77, while undergoing treatment in London. "President Lungu has a history of the condition of narrowing of the food pipe which was corrected 30 years ago... and appears to have recurred," the presidency said.
