Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika has died after a heart attack, medical and government sources said on Friday.
The 78-year-old was rushed to a Lilongwe hospital on Thursday after collapsing but was dead on arrival, the sources said.
Mutharika, a former World Bank Economist who had been accused of
despotism and mishandling the economy in his final months. Reports indicated that he had been grooming his Foreign Minister brother Peter as his successor Peter Mutharika had tended to deputise in his brother's absence. 
Strange...the same wind of recycled leadership sweeping across Africa. A leader with huge potential comes to power but halfway through, things change.....they loose credibility.
The People of Malawi should be breathing some sighs of relief...i guess...
