LUSAKA, (Reuters) – A monkey urinated on Zambian President Rupiah Banda as he spoke to journalists at a news conference yesterday.
Banda softly shouted: “You (monkey) have urinated on my jacket,” and paused as he looked up to see the animal playing in a tree just above his chair.
“Perhaps these are blessings,” he said continuing his address amid laughter from the audience of journalists and diplomats at the State House presidential offices.
Several monkeys play around the grounds of Banda’s residence and his office. There are also many species of antelope and birds in the State House grounds.
