Quoting what it termed credible sources, the television station reported that Lungu’s family has made a firm decision to bury him in South Africa, the country in which he died on June 5.
“According to separate interviews with individuals close to the family in South Africa, Lungu’s remains will be exhumed and repatriated to Zambia at a later date,” the station reported.
KBN further reported that burial arrangements were currently underway in collaboration with South African authorities, with the possibility of holding the burial ceremony either Saturday or Monday.
A call to family spokesperson Makebi Zulu over the development went unanswered.

This now confirms that lungu was truly not Zambian but a foreigner. Why are there no elderly relatives to refute all what Tasila is deciding? Why are they afraid to bury in Zambia if they are truly Zambians ? Is it because of too many concubines with extra marital affairs which lungu had ?
What elderly relatives? Tasila at 40 is old enough. Lungu’s sister is there. The chiefs were there. What elders do you need. At 40 KK was president. Tasila is an MP
Why has this decision hurt you UPND and birthright people so much? What exactly did you want to do with the body? Us patriots are very happy.
For the sake of peace, and to avoid unwarranted persecution, the family should not come back to Zambia until next year when we vote in a real proper government.
ONLY IN ZAMBIA THAT EVEN CORPSES BECOME REFUGEES. THAT IS HOW BAD THE REGIME IS HERE.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Self-imposed refugees.
Glad they have decided to bury in RSA. They can even take the body to his home country in Mozambique.
With the stolen money they amassed, that should not be a problem
I think this guy was not a Zambian next time we should be careful with people who has no extended family or village where they come from.
They can do what they so wish. The reality is that the spirit of Lungu is languishing in Zambia looking for a resting place. For this drama to end, umo alafwila po. I feel for the family. The spirit of Lungu will haunt them. They won’t be sleeping properly. Remember we are Africans. Mukachimona.
What about those his regime had killed?
This is a good decision! They can bring him back to Zambia after next year when we get a new president.
ECL 1 vs HH 0.
Full-time.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Can’t waste my vote on these thugs, sorry!
They are out and will never come back.
That’s the best option going by the prevailing situation..The indicators are pointing to abuse of the Remains, and the entire Funeral Process by Shameless Hypocrites..Let them ‘ drown’ in their crocodile Tears.
People should respect agreements. It should not always be Imingalato. There’s a limit to what people can accept.
The situation could have become something else had the body been brought to Zambia.
May the Soul of our departed President, Dr Edgar C. Lungu Rest in Peace.
At an opportune time , and it will come soon, you will be wrapped in the Zambian soil . Amen.
His soul will not rest in peace. How many Zambians died at the hands of the brutal cadres under his reign?
I hope they remain in South Africa because Makebi will be busy running from court to court protecting the thieving family after the mourning period.
@katana
Someone won’t Rest in Peace but it won’t be ECL.. Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu rests in heavenly Peace.
The one who abused will be tormented to the very end. His Conscience will forever be in Prison. That’s the destiny of useless Imingalato. Why some people fail to just do the right thing beats my mind..
Dr Edgar C. Lungu, Abused in Life and Abused in Death.. Zambia’s 6th President buried in a Foreign Land. MHSRIP. This is my Epitaph.
Who can be at Peace when the Remains of your Predecessor lie in a Foreign land?
According to the bible,no dead person is in heaven yet.We all must await judgement day.Si Heaven yaanyoko
Kikikikiki Muzambian, lol. Someone thinks heaven is run by cadres who would treat ECL as King or Priest lol
@mu Zambian and the rest of the Illiterate insulting UPND Thugs.
“Sleep in heavenly peace ” is an idiomatic expression, meaning sleep very well and untroubled..
Chizungu chabe! Seems free education is not working for the dim nuts !
If indeed ECL knowing he was dying and leaving instructions relating to hatred towards HH then his spiritual destine is questionable and so painful.. this confirms that had ECL got the power again in 2021 HH would be dead by now looking at the hatred being exhibited by the closest allies of ECL. Who says that? At the time of repentance to God for the evils committed he decided to repay eye for eye but I think it is unfair to put HH in this exam room , the situation is just hostile and need God’s intervention. PF party has some political interests in the body of the late sixth president
If they don’t have a right to do what they are doing let them receive an injunction to restrain them from that because Zambians were waiting for the body.This must be a court case.That grave that has been prepared? Zambians interest has been interfered with by this family and their lawyer.The reasons that the family is giving has no grey matter.Let the court help us quickly to resolve the matter.If they have the right to do what they are doing let it be.
Let’s wait and see. It’s one of those times when rumour mongers think is appropriate to spread their misinformation.
I have decided to move on, enough of this drama!!!
Why should one individual insist.on being the first one to do body viewing? There is more to this than meets the eye. I support the family of ECL in this.
The first body viewing will be done in South Africa.
Who is feeding you with that information? A DR Who can’t analyze issues but riding on Hatred for someone who is not directly involved. Ikona mani
All the drama reminds of Sodom and Gomorrah. Why not mourn in unity? Even in death. This is totally embarrassing.
Musungeni, we are tired of your disorganised family. Ifwe we have moved on. Rest in peace ba tata
Better they just bury him where they are and secretly if that is their best wish. Thus can even ask Alick Banda to fly there so that he can preach during the service. At least we can completely forget about him and this confusing and shamefull to and forth drama, but will just remember when we see Makebi Zulu, Given Lubinda and Nakachinda when we see them about him Lungu how they have behaved during his death and will reflect the sadistic legacy and way he treated HH, gassed to desth and killed Zambians who included Lawrence Banda, Nsama Nsama, Joseph Kaunda, Mapenzi – those who died in big numbers during gassing, the bullets that PF cadres and POLICE shot at innocent citizens and are still nursing them in their bodies.
This man from the look of things, where he is there is no peace; it can be seen from what is happenong in his family and PF camp behind and how he illtreated his opponents and Zambians at large when he was still alive because now it is just his remains that his group are trying to use for whatever reasons known to themselves which is by the day slowly becoming meaningless . At the end of all – we only have two places- hell and PARADISE.
Let them bury wjere they wsnt, whatever they want let government leave them with it. A person who badly trested others with evil can pretend through proxies to be seen like he is the one who was ill treated what madness is this?. Thia man used to move around troting, making noise and shouting with pomposity to the leaderdhip of the nation, no one did wrong to him but him who wronged many can in a pretentious way through myopic images think otherwise??? AIKONA MAN. This is very wrong. This ECL family and their greedy Makebi Zulu should actually be the ones to even ask for forgivenes on behalf of their dead ECL about all the evil and wrong things he did to others while he was still alive than start tormenting the minds of the free Zambians who want and are still mourning with them. If not such things will backfire badly and you will end up regretting because by then you would have missed the opportunity.
Mulentumfwisha nensoni kuli ba South Africa
In this situation, ” Let the dead burry themselves.” And forget about them, for the sake of peace and halting the nuisancical drama
Lungu was a visionless prick when he was alive and he has just reconfirmed that he is even more of a prick when dead.
Tyrol indigo must be crying to bed now… hahaha hahahaha
HH 20
ECL -100
Also goes to prove once and for all that chikala chagwa was never a Zambian
Good riddance to bad news
Why is South African getting itself involved in this, is it that his money is held by them. The country owes zambian alot for its existence during the freedom fighting days. It’s hoisting a family at the cost of national relationship. I feel it’s a contributing factor to this whole drama, giving the mafias room to be holding press conferences, church halls, I think south Africa actually disrespecting a fellow sovereign state here. Will their president hoist foreign dignitaries that ll come to mourn and as who.
I think it’s too early to drag South Africa in this, you don’t expect South Africa to chess those people or stop them from holding conference, it doesn’t make sense. Actually South Africa is doing well currently offering the level field for ECL family (Zambians) and the Zambian government. If you have a problem with your father, resolving the problem at a neutral home can be best coz U no one will know where the knife is lol
Cancel national mourning. Cancel the state funeral programme. Leave them to bury this thief wherever they want but they must come back after burial to finish their court cases.
Pwaaaaahahahaha.
You birthright people are really hurting ka?
Let me laugh again, pwaaaaahahahahohohohehehe.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Going by what is obtaining, can’t the end of the mourning period be brought forward, say this Friday at 18hrs instead of next week Monday? Us in the entertainment industry would like to make some money as we’re broke. Progress please!!!
Welcome move. Zambia forward. Let’s get on with our lives.
