Ex-Zambian President's plane in Emergency Landing...

Read the Times of Zambia this morning about the former prez's plane returning 45 mins after take-off from Lusaka. Apparently "thick smoke was noticed billowing from one of the engines". I understand he was given permission to go to South Africa to undergo some specialist medical tests.

Wonder what went wrong and what a/c type they were using?

Anyone have some more info on this? Can't find anything that's been posted anywhere regarding this incident yet.
