Zambia writer to continue satire

British writer Roy Clark says he will continue making fun of Zambia's leaders, after the Supreme Court ruled against an attempt to deport him.

"It was important to demonstrate that you can criticise the government," he told the BBC.

Mr Clarke was ordered to leave the country in 2004 after he compared President Levy Mwanawasa to a "foolish elephant" in a newspaper column.

He is married to a local women's rights activist and he has Zambian residency.

"It's quite in order to laugh at people in power," he told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
