ECL FAMILY PETITIONS SUPREME COURT TO BLOCK REPATRIATION ORDER FOR FORMER PRESIDENT LUNGU’S BURIAL
According to the official Patriotic Front (PF) Facebook page, the family of former President Edgar Lungu has petitioned the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn the Pretoria High Court’s decision denying them permission to appeal against the lower court’s earlier ruling that he be repatriated to Zambia for burial.
The party reveals that the family has cited errors in the High Court’s assessment of the facts, issues, and law, and has requested leave to refer the matter to the Supreme Court for review.
The High Court rejected the application yesterday. Until the appeal is decided, the body of Mr. Lungu, who died on 5 June, remains in South Africa.

AM FOR SEEING ALOT OF SUPRISES IN THIS DEATH AT THE END
I foresee the final humiliation of Sishuwa
They have a lot of money to waste. Natural logic is that every body should be buried in their and of birth.
There is nothing about dignity in this circus. The extent to which ECL’s family is going about to stop repatriation of ECL’s body is now becoming very intriguing. I am now 100% sure that the real drama will be at the final verdict. We will ultimately know why this family has been well bent to make sure ECL’s is not buried in Zambia. These numerous frivolous appeals in a clear case where the matter is not on their favor shows that the initial “agreement” ECL’s family had with govt to have body repatriated was never going to happen as they already had calculated alteria motives to sabotage the “agreement”. It was never in good faith “agreement” as they had no intentions to have ECL’s body repatriatiated whatsoever. That body is tied to something here in SA which the Lungus won’t let go of. Thats just my own opinion. Let’s wait at see
You have hit the nail on the head.
This behaviour by the Lungu family is very abnormal and suspicious.
Just burn the rotting corpse, he won’t be returning our money back.
BTW it would be better to feed chikala lungu to the croc.
I personally would like to ask the Zambian government to petition the courts in south Africa to have Mr.Edgar Changwa Lungu’s remains be subjected to a DNA test so that that corpse can be truly be known due to this path the family has taken.
I can’t shake the feeling that Edgar might still be alive! The family appears determined to guard a hidden secret at any cost. Their demeanor is utterly perplexing and unsettling. I find myself resonating with the saying, “Esther temunobe,” as it encapsulates the mystery surrounding their actions.

Plan B at work I guess. ECL might just be alive. Apart from Lungu’s family, I wonder who else has seen his corpse.
Attraction of news from the grapevine! The why question brings answers including fake ones.Time.
I also suspect Lungu isn’t dead. The family is implementing plan B. Ecl could be somewhere enjoying Jameson in some hotel. Let the remains of Edgar be verified as soon as possible. Why such secrecy ? The family is tricky and exploring ways to dodge cases. Let them come to Zambia and face justice.
