I PERSONALLY SAW LUNGU’S BODY IN SOUTH AFRICA – SUMAILI
FORMER Religious and National Guidance Minister Godfridah Sumaili says she has personally seen the body of late former President Edgar Lungu and wants the nation to stop spreading rumours that he is still alive.
Sumaili described such claims as inhumane and embarrassing, insisting that the former Presidents remains in the morgue in South Africa.
Almost nine months ago, when Lungu breathed his last, rumours have been circulating that he had not died.
Responding to assertions by some sections of society, that the former President is still alive, Sumaili said insinuating that the former head of state is still alive is inhumane and embarrassing.
Appearing on Crown TV last night, she confirmed that Lungu is no longer among the living and is still laying in the morgue in South Africa.
“Saying that nobody from the party saw the body is a total lie. I travelled to South Africa the day after he died and I’m speaking from my heart, truthfully that I have had an opportunity to see his body,” she said.
Sumaili also warned that keeping the body unburied has serious implications on the nation, stating that things may never be well.
The former minister said that the country according to her knowledge, is still mourning, as long as the former head of state remains unburied.
Sumaili further called on President Hichilema to let the family bury the former President as they wish.
“It is shameful, embarrassing, uncultural and unchristian to keep the body of a former President unburied for nine months. Let President Hichilema do the right thing and allow the family to bury their loved one according to his and their wishes,” she said.
Sumaili also condemned, what she described as the unfair treatment subjected to the former first family, by the state.
She said the family is still mourning and deserves to be given space and allowed to mourn in a respectful manner.
“Asking certain individuals to stay away from the funeral is not keeping grudges, but simply fair that the wishes of the late are respected.
“It will not be the first time after all, we have seen this happen around the SADC region. What is pushing him to see the body? What does he want to see?”
Kalemba
So how rotten is he. The devil lies in a fridge
We don’t care.
Do whatever you want with the body.
”Sumaili also warned that keeping the body unburied has serious implications on the nation, stating that things may never be well.” who says that? People have moved on, and are preparing for a bumper harvest this harvesting period. Talk for yourself mama.
Why has it taken you nine months to tell us? Who was with you?
Exactly
This is how you implicate yourselves, is this not similar to the Kaoma case? You saw the body when others had not seen it, are there some special people who were allowed to see it? People like J.J. Banda are adamant that Lungu is still alive, so what can make us believe you and not to believe them?
“It will not be the first time after all, we have seen this happen around the SADC region. What is pushing him to see the body? What does he want to see?”
Madam who told you that HH wants to see the body?Lungu was a former president, and his burial can never be a secret.At your age you lack wisdom.HH is doing his job as the head of state.Any funeral of a former Republican President, is a State function, not a private family affair.Old lady, access and protocol at such an event are guided by State procedures, not by personal feelings or bitterness from any widow or relative or pf cadres.No one has the legal or moral right to chase away a sitting President from a State funeral,it is not only unconstitutional but undermines national decorum and the dignity of public office.You people you undermine the office of the president.HH won the 2021 elections and has stopped you people from looting or benefiting from public resources, is this the reason Zambians should agree that HH does not attend the funeral? Very foolish people.
Liar liar pants on fire. Nobody not even you has seen lungus body because it is simply not there. That’s why the family is fighting tooth and nail to make sure nobody sees the body.
