PRETORIA HIGH COURT SETS DATE FOR ESTHER LUNGU APPEAL HEARING
THE High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Division, has set Friday, August 15, 2025, at 09:00 hours, as the date to hear an application for leave to appeal in the matter between the Zambian Government and former First Lady Esther Lungu along with seven others.
The notice, issued by the Office of Justice Potteril, follows a formal application for leave to appeal lodged in the ongoing legal dispute.
The court has directed that any additional documents, apart from possible heads of argument, be filed no later than Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 15:00.
The matter is expected to proceed before the Pretoria High Court with both sides presenting arguments on whether the appeal should be allowed to move forward.
On Friday, August 8, the Pretoria High Court ordered that the remains of 6th President Edgar Lungu be repatriated to Zambia for burial at Embassy Park.
Delivering the judgment on behalf of two other judges, Acting Judge President of the South African High Court, Judge Aubrey Ledwaba, further directed that, in accordance with Zambian law, the former President be accorded a State Funeral.

May this be the last effort. Both parties should accept and respect the court ‘ s decision. Edgar needs a rest.
Davil group is going to refuse the out come just wait,I’m told there are ready to stay in south Africa for not less than 10 years.
We await the hearing of the Notice of Appeal. Justice for the Late President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu and family is the call.
Evil dignity won’t triumph.
Kikiki….sounds like you will move heaven and earth so that Edgar Lungu is not buried in Zambia.
Sadly us law abiding minions have little say or interest in the matter other than public interest. Justice is a matter of perception for that are emotionally vested in the case. And the courts have no room for emotions.
Hope an end can come to this case.
Zambians and the world is praying for a mutual
Understanding end.
Which world are you talking about? Don’t amplify things. Even in Zambia there it is only a small fraction that are now following this circus others have moved on they have left the circus behind.
He meant his personal world. kikiki
Battle of the Living!
ECL ceased to exist 60 days ago and does not give a damn about the Game of Chess that is senselessly being played about his burial, dignified or undignified! It is irrelevant to him, anymore.
