PROGRESS FORCES DEMAND ANSWERS OVER LATE EDGAR LUNGU’S MYSTERIOUS PRESENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Progressive Forces of South Africa have issued a scathing letter to the Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber, demanding urgent clarity on the alleged irregular and undocumented presence of the late former Zambian President, Edgar Chagwa Lungu, in South Africa prior to his death.
The organisation, through its national strategic organiser Bonang Letsoaloane, has raised alarm over what it calls a “serious breakdown in oversight” by the Department of Home Affairs. The letter alleges that Lungu entered South Africa on 19 January 2025 using a Zambian diplomatic passport and was granted a 90-day stay, which expired in April.
However, the group claims that following that date, Lungu allegedly continued travelling in and out of the country using a false Zimbabwean diplomatic passport, effectively bypassing immigration controls and avoiding detection.
What has intensified concern is that both Mediclinic in Pretoria and another unnamed hospital reportedly confirmed that no patient by the name Edgar Lungu was ever admitted suggesting he may have received medical treatment and possibly died under a different identity.
The Progressive Forces are now questioning which name was used to register his death and whether any official death certificate or population record exists for Lungu in South Africa.
“Was this identity manipulation not detected by the National Population Register, biometric controls, or movement tracking systems?” the letter asks, describing the incident as a matter of national security and diplomatic protocol integrity.
The organisation is demanding a full investigation into how Lungu’s undocumented movements were possible, and whether any inter-agency failures occurred between Home Affairs and DIRCO.
They insist this is not just a case of immigration oversight, but a breach of national sovereignty and legal compliance.

Propaganda again , give us real solutions to problems country is facing and not fiction by non-existent individuals, you said the nation has moved on but still dwelling in the past, another distraction TYPICAL of your failed leadership
And yet some one claims he is mourning. Every day it’s useless propaganda.
We are Tired.
The Zimbabwean authorities already confirmed that there is no truth to this passport news. Why does the Zambian media enjoy sensational news based on insinuations and misinformation? I do not understand.
Let the Lungu family bring ECL to his mother land so that he enjoys a peaceful sendoff instead of clinging to a foreign country.
No, let him get buried in RSA. Why do you people his enemies want his body so much? What rituals do you want to conduct?
The open grave remains, soon to be filled by a suitable occupant.

VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
ECL is dead and has no feelings. The only people with genuine feelings and emotional attachments are members of his family. They will be the only people who will be happy when their desires are fulfilled.
