Zambian President Michael Sata, who according to the country's national radio was nicknamed "King Cobra" for his fiery tongue and larger-than-life personality, has die.
Officials did not disclose a cause of death. But Sata had traveled to London for unspecified medical treatment last week.
He died in a hospital there Tuesday evening, the government-owned Zambia Daily Mail said.
Sata took office in September 2011 after the incumbent President tearfully conceded in a televised speech, a rare moment in a continent known for volatile elections and leaders fighting their defeat tooth-and-nail
