Where Is the Truth? Questions Surrounding the Death and Burial of Former President Lungu
It appears that there was a deliberate intention to handle the matter as though it involved the burial of an unidentified or unclaimed body in a South African hospital, while key individuals remained abroad—seemingly orchestrating confusion and misinformation back home in Zambia.
The refusal to permit public viewing of the body or to repatriate the remains for burial on Zambian soil, combined with the announcement that the casket would be subject to screening upon arrival, raises serious doubts. These actions strongly suggest that the death may not be genuine, and instead may be part of a broader, clandestine political strategy, possibly operating under the guise of a “Plan B.”
To date, no government official has come forward to confirm that they have personally seen the remains of the late former President. This raises a troubling and fundamental question: how can the Government of the Republic of Zambia fail to verify the passing of its own former Head of State?
As a sovereign nation, we must demand transparency, truth, and dignity in the handling of matters of such national importance.
The truth is that the man was a crook…ka kabolala, eating from mwibala, kalila kumo ne mbuti.
Chester Hampweto. Respect to the dead
Another person who cant ask himself honest sincere questions, instead insults berates thinking those questions should not be answered.
Who can prove that Lungu is dead. The only people making these claims are his family. Given the criminal cases they have in court, do they not stand to benefit from the narrative that Lungu is dead yet not? Is that the best way to stop the criminal cases that have been raised against them?
What are these people hiding? Its not just Zambians asking this question. The South Africans are asking the same question. That is why they have petitioned how the Government can allow a person to travel to Zimbabwe on a Diplomatic passport of a Nation he does not belong to. Admitted in not one hospital but two under a name that is not his.
So why insult people and hinder them from knowing the truth?
The dead sleep and know nothing. So if want them respected, do the right thing. If the right thing may not have been done when they were alive. Let it be done in their death. Dont place hide and seek for personal expediency.
