PF TROOP TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR EDGAR LUNGU’S BURIAL JUDGEMENT
Acting Chairman of the Tonse Alliance and Acting president of the Patriotic Front (PF), Given Lubinda, has arrived in South Africa and he is accompanied by 25 senior PF members and 4 Indians
Among the PF members in the delegation are Mulenga Kapwepwe, Davies Mwila, Joseph Malanji, Freedom Sikazwe and other PF officials.
Upon arrival, the group was received by a private BMW car hire service taking them to expensive Hotels in Sandton, and Midrand residence of former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
Patriotic Front (PF) are in South Africa to give solidarity and attend the upcoming High Court hearing in the Gauteng Division, Pretoria tomorrow 4th August 2025.
They don’t want Edgar Lungu’s remains buried in his homeland apparently to fix the current government and the Zambian people.
The Almighty God, the one in heavens knows the truth about this whole episode. You can never hide the truth in the EYES of the Almighty God because you can be embarrassed. I Pray that the Almighty will and will put things plainly to make those that want to test his supremacy to shame. The Almighty God is not God trickery but God of truth. I pray for things to end in a good and friendly manner.
Amen Boyd…its refreshing for once to see an objective & positive comment.
Those who know South African family law tell me it’s curtains for the Attorney-General of Zambia. The Lungu family is winning and burial should take place this week. It’s high time we had closure and moved on. Next issue, please.
You speak about South African family law but forget that Edgar Lungu was a Zambian who just happened to have died in a South African hospital.Nex issues,kuti!?
@MuZambian
The Jurisdiction of the Court is South African. The case is being held in a South African Court, under South African Law..And Edgar Chagwa Lungu ‘s family are resident in South Africa…and according to Family law in South Africa, the Family have all the rights over the burial of a deceased relative…
Gunner is absolutely right. The case of the Zambian Government is weak.
But whoever loses this case , let the 6th President, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu Rest in Peace. No need for Appeals.
I am not aware that Lungu and family have been granted permanent residency in South Africa.Diplomatically,that would amount to illegally harbouring fugitives from Zambian justices
@ Muzambian
If you as a Zambian, commit an offence in South Africa, and you are taken to a South African Court, are you going to be tried under Zambian Law or South African Law?
If a Zambian takes a fellow Zambian to a South African Court , are you going to use Zambian Law to prosecute whoever is at fault?
Somethings are just as clear as east to west…
Let the family bury their loved One.
Mistakes were made.
Our President had a window for reconciliation, from 2021 to 2023. He could have been a Zambian Mandela, a great Man, but he took a different path.. but now he looks a Villain, and his conscience will be in Prison for as long as he lives.
May the 6th President, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu be buried this week, and may his Soul Rest in PEACE.

Typo.
Bwana, this is now a global village. Sometimes you can be surprised with the judgement. Anything can happen and mourning can continue. Local law, international law and traditional laws are all about good morals and justice. Today, judgement can take place anywhere, locally or abroad
Iwe,Zambino, your example is offside.No national law was broken.A patient went to hospital abroad and died there.The norm is to repatriate the remains to the place of origin.If Lungu was never granted South African citizenship, he must become an ancestor here,at home
Whether buried in water, soil or air the and factual truth is that ECL is no more. All what majority Zambia is his burial to be conducted according to our national tradition. But dying with hatred, being mourned with hatred, mourners travelling with hatred, mourners arriving and being accommodated with hatred, worse still, the commander of unforgivingnes and hatred to be buried with hatred with his unforgiving words of command in his dead mouth by only his followers baptized in unforgiving and hatred and full of hatred against others
We have moved on.dead or alive we rejected and still reject any form of thuggery.we spoke and we will speak with a vote, making noise doesn’t change the fact that the majority are the silent voters .
MuZambia you are missing the point by Gunner. Please separate the dead from the surviving family members. What Gunner is saying is that it doesn’t matter what ECL’s nationality is as long as he died in RSA and the Zambian government have taken ECL’s family to the South African court and to preside over this case, the South African law is clear as to who holds the final say over the burial of the deceased. Am sure you heard what Chabinga was saying in the leaked audio that the South African law stands on the side of the family. Am sure this is simple to understand, let’s wait for tomorrow’s judgement and for sure our prayer is that this will come to an end and the soul of the Great Son of Africa DR ESGAR CHAGWA LUNGU will be buried according to the wishes of the family and the wish of the deceased.
PF is a useless party, all they know is confusion, thuggery and violence. These people didn’t expect to be in opposition because they thought they were going to win 2021 . This time they are completely stranded with no hope to come back and rule Zambia.
Should the family win this case, PF with its sympathisers will celebrate such an outcome as a slap on HH’s face coz to the family & PF, it has bn a battle between them & HH, the rest of us are not in the picture. Should the government win, on the other hand, it will be a win for every well meaning Zambian who has prayed, in public interest, that the remains of our former president be buried in his home country, Zambia, thereby giving everyone closure.
Exactly
