Bingu wa Mutharika, the president of Malawi has died after heart attack. His death followed a sudden fall at a meeting. He was send to a hospital in Lilongwe but could not recover. He died at the age of 78 years. He died at a local, poor hospital that have no enough drugs and has poor power supply. Malawians have mixed feelings with regard to the news of his death as it usual when a politician dies. Many Malawians blamed Mutharika personally for the economic woes, which stemmed ultimately from a diplomatic spat with former colonial power Britain a year ago.
"We know he is dead and unfortunately he died at a local, poor hospital which he never cared about - no drugs, no power," said Chimwemwe Phiri, a Lilongwe businessman waiting in a snaking line of cars for fuel at a petrol station.
