STATE HOUSE SENDS ANOTHER URGENT DELEGATION



Former President, Bakili Muluzi, who is mediating in a row between the Zambian government and the family of the late Former President Edgar Lungu over his burial says a team of negotiators has been dispatched to South Africa to engage Lungu’s family.



Speaking to Times, Muluzi – who has been leading mediation efforts between Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema and Lungu’s family, said the delegation aims to persuade Lungu’s family to reconsider their decision to bury him in South Africa, a move that has sparked controversy in Lusaka.


He said President Lungu was not only a leader of the Republic of Zambia but also a man with deep connections, friends, and relatives in his homeland.


He emphasised that Zambians deserve the opportunity to mourn their former leader on home soil.



It has been two weeks since Lungu died in Johannesburg after a prolonged illness.

  1. This obsession by Hakainde is becoming sick. This is not natural at all. No means no. Let it go, iwe. When he was alive, you did nor want him. Now that he is dead, you want the body? Tell us what you want to do with the body iwe.

    ECL family should not make the mistake of bringing him to Zambia at all. Bury him now at a secret location. Better still, cremate him now.

    VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

    • It’s indeed sickening. The MAN cancels the National Mourning. He again starts crawling back for the Body. Where is the sense in all this? You wanted to move on, please move on.
      What is it that he wants from ECL’s body?
      Be gone …..!

      Let the family put to rest their father, Husband, and Son.
      And let those who loved ECL in Life mourn him in Peace.

      May the Soul of the Departed 6th President, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu Rest in Peace.

  2. The Mingalatoon is in Panic Mode. He has become so desperate!
    When your life is anchored on Hypocrisy , Dishonesty, Untruths, Insincerity people can see through you..No one would like to have the body of their deceased relative near you..To give useless, empty and hollow speeches.
    Every one knows who you are. You abuse some one in Life, and then you want to abuse him even in death under the guise of Dignity…What dignity?
    To have his remains in your pocket for political grandstanding. No Ways.
    Every Mingalatoon has his Day.. That’s the destiny of Useless Imingalato.

  3. These former presidents of Malawi should leave this. The Lungu family is a criminal syndicate. Mulusi I am sure knows Lungu is his clan but wants show us that he cares. He is probably the only one who can’t read though the lines to see what the Lungu family and Makebi are doing.

  4. Yes. Leave them alone. You don’t have other things to talk about? Leave HH alone too, and let him concentrate on the other many, many issues of the State, like poverty and health, amongst others that are so crucial for Zambia at this point in time.
    PLEASE! Enough of the noise. I’m very sure that you’ve heard what they say about EMPTY VESSELS…???…
