Former Zambian President Edgar Chagwa Lungu was forced to delete his Facebook account after angry Zambians bombarded him with insults for mismanaging the country.

Lungu announced the decision to leave Facebook saying he has chosen to live a private life.

This follows his recent drubbing at the hands of opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema who has since assumed office.

“I have temporarily deliberately deleted my Facebook page because people are mocking me everyday.“I now want to live a private life.” said Lungu.
