{UAH} Vacation/Rest is necessary

Lusaka (AFP) -

Zambian President Edgar Lungu collapsed on the podium while presiding over a Women's Day celebration in Lusaka on Sunday -- less than two months after the 58-year-old took over from a leader who died in office.

Lungu was rushed to a military hospital, but the presidency later issued a statement saying he was receiving treatment for malaria but there was no need for concern.

"I am feeling much better and have been told I have high levels of fatigue and should take some rest," Lungu was quoted as saying in the statement, adding: "There is nothing to worry about."

It is necessary for people to take vacation/leave very seriously. The body can take only some amount of work.
