Joyce Banda takes over Malawi leadership

Malawi’s Vice President Joyce Banda has taken over the country’s leadership after the confirmation of the death of the President, Bingu wa Mutharika. This comes two days after wa Mutharika suffered a cardiac arrest on Thursday , throwing the country into confusion and suspense as the government remained tight lipped over the President’s condition.
The confirmation of Banda as the President allays fears of the country being thrown into a constitutional crisis as she had been expelled from the ruling party in 2010. Details of the late president’s burial arrangements are still to be availed.
Rest in Peace Cde Bingu, you have fought a good fight.
