Article-Summary: 

Zambia will seize funds and properties belonging to ex-president Frederick Chiluba and his associates if they fail to pay back $46 million siphoned from the Treasury, a minister said on Wednesday. Chiluba said last week that a British judge's order that he personally return $41 million stolen while he was in office "bordered on racism". Chiluba has denied the charges.
