Zambia’s Ex-President Lungu Remains Unburied Nearly a Year After His Death | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A former President’s remains have become the centre of a bitter international legal battle. Ten months after the passing of Zambia’s Edgar Lungu in a South African hospital, his body remains unburied, caught in a political tug-of-war. On one side, President Hakainde Hichilema’s government demands a state funeral, asserting that a former head of state belongs to the nation. On the other hand, Lungu’s grieving family claims the former leader’s dying wish was to be buried privately, specifically requesting that his political rival, Hichilema, be kept away from the proceedings. From dramatic courtroom reversals in South Africa to the memory of treason charges and house arrests, this feud transcends the grave. As the May 21 deadline for repatriation looms, the story serves as a stark reminder of how deep political scars can run, preventing even the dead from finding a final, graceful peace.
