Edgar Lungu was in SA for medical treatments alone but Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa sent people to help him with resources.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa writes
As regional compatriots, South Africans are standing by the people of Zambia in this difficult moment.
We have had the duty and privilege in recent weeks to care for a leader from our region whom we embraced as a brother and friend.
We therefore share the grief and loss experienced at this time by the Lungu family, as well as the Zambian nation.
May his soul rest in peace.
Lungu had his ups and downs, but at this point lets unite together and accord the former head of state respect commensurate to any former head of state. Omunene one kabotu wali muntu wa bantu.
