TWO MOUNTAINS FUNERAL COMPANY WARNS OF DETERIORATING RISKS TO ECL’S BODY DUE TO PROLONGED STORAGE
By KBN TV Staff Reporter
A South African funeral company keeping the body of Zambia’s late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has raised concern over the prolonged court battles delaying his burial, warning that the extended storage period could soon compromise the condition of the remains.
In a letter seen by KBN TV dated 11th August, 2025, addressed to both the Lungu family and the Zambian government, Two Mountain Burial Services Ltd expresses worry at the timeframe in which the matter is being finalized.
A company legal Department representative Johan Furstenberg has particularly noted that while the body remains well preserved for now, the risk of deterioration is increasing with time.
Mr Furstenberg explains that although the late president’s body is embalmed and in good condition, preserved in line with standard operating procedures, long-term storage may eventually result in visible signs of deterioration.
He has therefore urged the two parties to treat its finalisation as a matter of priority to avoid any adverse impact on the dignity of the deceased given the sensitivity of the matter.
Mr Furstenberg has further disclosed that Two Mountain Burial Services is considering engaging a pathologist and an embalmer to provide an expert opinion on the expected condition of the body under prolonged storage.
He is however seeking clarity on whether costs associated with such services would be reimbursed by both parties in the dispute.
Former President Lungu died on 5th June, 2025 and his remains have been in storage in South Africa pending the outcome of ongoing legal disputes between his family and the Zambian government over his final resting place.-KBN
It must be stinking too
Just shows that the drink and corruption go hand in hand
THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THIS IS PF ‘S ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR.
Very sad to hear this.
Both parties should let go some demands.
Well, that is the hate they’ve for the current President
The headline of the story does not match the story. There is nowhere in the story where it says the body is deteriorating. There is only concern that protracted legal battles may affect the state of the body. Properly embalmed bodies take long before they begin to deteriorate.
Hate to the extent of petrification,wow!! What a bunch of lunatics!!!! unprecedented presidential burial, if we (Zambians) had not voted for him the family wouldn’t have had those wing’s they’re busy parading with in SA , they owe the us big time …….
How can this lawyer who is also a defendant ask the government to be a party to reimbursement when they have refused the government to see and assess the body? The reimbursement should be directed to Ester and company for having chosen such stupid strategy. Government together with the South African government institute proper far wide investigations into what is being hidden behind Lungu’s corpse.
The plan is to announce that there will be no body viewing because the body is in a body state. Everything has been arranged, and a prompt government request for verification would be ideal.
Exactly my thoughts…
The letter was done 12/08/2025 and has only come out now…
Why…
These are steps to stop body viewing…
Why has no one including the Top PF hierarchy and the acclaimed Bishop not seen the body…
This raises speculation on what is going round on social media….
Government needs to act quickly to verify the state if the body and confirm that it is indeed the former President and CiC lying there….
11/08/2025…
In my view, at the end of this Lungu Fiasco and Circus, both the Lungu Family and the Government will be clear Losers but South African Lawyers richer with the general public enjoying the gripping suspense in the “Thriller in Gauteng!”
