MAKEBI ZULU DISMISSES CLAIMS EDGAR LUNGU IS ALIVE, CONFIRMS VIEWING OF THE BODY
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
Spokesperson for the family of the late former President Edgar Lungu, Makebi Zulu, has described as unfortunate suggestions circulating that the former Head of State might still be alive.
Mr Zulu said it is regrettable that the death of Zambia’s sixth Republican President has been reduced to a joke, arguing that such claims undermine the dignity and legacy of Mr Lungu.
He has, however, firmly dismissed the allegations, confirming that members of the Lungu family, himself, former Mines Minister Richard Musukwa, and other close associates personally viewed Mr Lungu’s body at the mortuary.
Speaking on That Zed Podcast, Mr Zulu questioned why doubts continue to persist despite Mr Lungu’s daughter, Tasila Lungu, publicly confirming her father’s death in a widely circulated video.
Meanwhile, Mr Zulu revealed that the matter surrounding Mr Lungu’s burial remains before the South African courts, with a Notice of Appeal already filed.
He said the record of proceedings and legal arguments will be submitted, after which the court will announce a date for the hearing.
Mr Zulu maintained that the family’s wish is to accord Mr Lungu a dignified funeral in line with their wishes.
Mr Edgar Lungu died on June 5th, 2025, but has not yet been buried due to an ongoing legal dispute over his final resting place.
