MAKEBI ZULU DISMISSES CLAIMS EDGAR LUNGU IS ALIVE, CONFIRMS VIEWING OF THE BODY
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
Spokesperson for the family of the late former President Edgar Lungu, Makebi Zulu, has described as unfortunate suggestions circulating that the former Head of State might still be alive.
Mr Zulu said it is regrettable that the death of Zambia’s sixth Republican President has been reduced to a joke, arguing that such claims undermine the dignity and legacy of Mr Lungu.
He has, however, firmly dismissed the allegations, confirming that members of the Lungu family, himself, former Mines Minister Richard Musukwa, and other close associates personally viewed Mr Lungu’s body at the mortuary.
Speaking on That Zed Podcast, Mr Zulu questioned why doubts continue to persist despite Mr Lungu’s daughter, Tasila Lungu, publicly confirming her father’s death in a widely circulated video.
Meanwhile, Mr Zulu revealed that the matter surrounding Mr Lungu’s burial remains before the South African courts, with a Notice of Appeal already filed.
He said the record of proceedings and legal arguments will be submitted, after which the court will announce a date for the hearing.
Mr Zulu maintained that the family’s wish is to accord Mr Lungu a dignified funeral in line with their wishes.
Mr Edgar Lungu died on June 5th, 2025, but has not yet been buried due to an ongoing legal dispute over his final resting place.

You caused all this Makebi
Makebi is the architect of confusion and is as corrupt as lungu wearing a sheeps skin.
My baboon’s are much more civilised than this pr1ck
You call having a closed body viewing dignified, you call keeping the body in a fridge for close to a year dignified, you call dragging a dead man through lengthy legal battles dignified, how does a soul rest in piece under these conditions, if it were you body being subjected to such unnecessary issues and you had a chance to hit back, who would be your target. A dead body belongs to the grave and not subjecting it to elements in a fridge for so long. That body has been affected by elements from the time the spirit left and it continues to deteriorate under your watch and you call that dignified???, may God forgive you because you know not what you are doing to your future and to the body and claiming that your role in this issue is not to advice but to only parrote whatever you are told shows the level of thinking you posses.
His spirit will haunt you young man. I hope you sleep well at night. Don’t be surprised when strange things start happening in your life. It might not be directly to you but to your family members too. Your behaviour is not in accordance with African culture and tradition of managing death. Good luck and may your God be with you.
The Maliyongo fellow is alive; there is no evidence indicating he has died.
