Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika 'dead'
There have been growing protests against President Mutharika over the past year

President Bingu wa Mutharika of Malawi has died, doctors and cabinet ministers have told the BBC, but this has not been officially announced.
One of the doctors who treated Mr Mutharika, 78, said the president was "clinically dead" on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest.
State media are still reporting that he has been flown to South Africa for medical treatment.
If confirmed, his death would spark a constitutional crisis, analysts say.
According to the constitution, the vice-president takes over if the head of state is incapacitated or dies in office.
But Vice-President Joyce Banda and Mr Mutharika fell out after a row over the succession in 2010, and she was expelled from the ruling Democratic People's Party (DPP).
Mr Mutharika's brother, Foreign Minister Peter Mutharika, was chosen instead of Ms Banda to be the DPP's presidential candidate in the 2014 elections.
He has been standing in for the president when needed during official occasions. Ms Banda recently told the BBC she had not spoken to Bingu wa Mutharika for more than a year.

The BBC's Raphael Tenthani in the main city, Blantyre, says ministers met all night to discuss the situation.
The doctors and ministers say that Mr Mutharika's body was taken to South Africa while a decision is taken about what to do next.
Government sources have told the BBC that efforts to resuscitate President Mutharika had failed and that an official announcement is being prepared.
Mr Mutharika, a former World Bank economist, came to power in a 2004 election. Soon afterwards, he dramatically abandoned his United Democratic Front (UDF) party to form the DPP, after accusing leading UDF members of opposing his campaign against corruption.
Since being re-elected with a large majority in 2009, critics allege he has demonstrated an increasingly authoritarian streak.
The president has been under mounting pressure to resign, amid accusations of nepotism and economic mismanagement.
The criticism has led to a souring in relations with major foreign aid donors, especially the United Kingdom.
Last year, Mr Mutharika expelled the UK High Commissioner, Fergus Cochrane-Dyet, after a leaked embassy cable quoted the diplomat as saying that the president could not tolerate criticism.
The Malawian leader said he could not accept "insults" just because the UK was his country's largest aid donor.
In response, the UK expelled the Malawian envoy to London and cut direct aid.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an estimated 75% of the population living on less than $1 (60p) a day.
The country has suffered shortages of fuel and foreign currency since the UK and other donors cancelled aid.

Zamani manabii walikuwa wanapeleka ujumbe toka kwa Mungu kueleza binadamu kitu kitakachotokea ambacho alikuwa amekikusudia kwa watu fulani, kwa wakati fulani na kwa sababu fulani. Mfano, kuzaliwa kwa Yesu kulishatabiriwa hata kabla hajazaliwa. Kwa huyu anayejiita nabii kutabiri kifo cha rais kuna kusudi gani la Mungu limefikiwa hapo na nani walilengwa na unabii huo? Kuweni makini na watu hawa.

Hapo kunahitaji utabiri gani wakati hao maraisi wengi ni wazee na hata ile life expectancy ya waafrika ambayo ni miaka arubaini wameshaipita?
Angalia vizee hivi: Madiba, Mugabe, Bingu, Mwinyi, Wade, Kaunda, Mubarak.... sasa ukitabiri mmoja kati yao atakufa na akafa kweli ndiyo umekuwa mtabiri mahiri?

Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika has died after a heart attack, medical and government sources said on Friday, although few of his countrymen mourned a leader widely seen as an autocrat responsible for a stunning economic collapse.
AU Chairman President Mutharika addresses the media after closing the AU summit in Kampala July 27, 2010.
The 78-year-old was rushed to hospital in Lilongwe on Thursday after collapsing but was dead on arrival, the sources said. State media said he had been flown to South Africa for treatment although his immediate whereabouts remained unclear.
Medical sources said the former World Bank economist had been flown out because a power and energy crisis in the nation of 13 million was so severe the Lilongwe state hospital would have been unable to carry out a proper autopsy or even keep his body refrigerated.
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.

[h=3]Fare well thee Bingu wa Mutharika[/h]
Bingu,
Bingu wa Mutharika
I know you were a mortal being
Weak as you were
Now it's time for others and me
Time to forgive whatever you erred
Time for looking forward
That we'll be one day dead
Fare thee well Bingu.
Politics is about controversy
It can turn a believer into an heresy
This is what I saw so to say
Bingu you were an economist
Again,
When you became a politician
Things did take another turn
You took on politics
You sacrificed the economy
You embarked on gimmicks
Again
It should be said
Fare thee well Bingu.
Bingu rest in peace
Though you left us in pieces
Your name means the roar
Yes, you, too, used to roar
Thunder-like roar
Favoring your brother
just as an apparent heir
Now we are in crisis
Fare thee well Bingu
God bless Africa
God bless Malawi
The loving heart of Africa
God bless the Maravi
God give us courage
To soldier on united
Let us be focused
Focused on the future
Bingu you are no more
Malawi will forever be there
What a challenge!
What a lesson have you left abaft!
Power is for people not a person
Fare thee well Bingu.
