LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambian anti-graft authorities on Tuesday arrested former foreign minister Joseph Malanji for possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.

Following his election in August, Zambia's new President Hakainde Hichilema vowed to step up the fight against graft and recover state assets allegedly stolen under the previous government, which also left Zambia in a multibillion dollar debt crisis that has forced it to seek help from the IMF.
