        @BBCBreaking Dr G Scott a community leader & MP for decades. He was elected not black/white. We speak ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION, NOT skin colour

        @bbcbreaking I take it your use of Zambia's "white leader" is supposed to create a visceral reaction in your readers. I see you.

        @BBCBreaking This shouldn't even be news. If you're the right man for the job, you get the job. Race shouldn't even come into it.
