Zambia's President Edgar Lungu has joined the nation in mourning the death of a fish that lived in a pond at the country's second-biggest university.

Students at Copperbelt University (CBU) lit candles and marched around campus to mourn the big fish.

The hashtag Mafishi, as the fish was affectionately known, is trending on Twitter in the southern African state.

For the last two decades CBU students have believed the fish would bring them good luck in exams.

His death was still being investigated, added the president of the Copperbelt University Student's Union.

"It is yet to be buried, we are planning on embalming it," Mr Kasonde told the BBC.
