WHY IS FORMER & LATE PRESIDENT, ECL NOT BURIED? WHO’S THE PROBLEM? IS IT THE FAMILY? THE GOVERNMENT OR THE SA COURTs/LAW ENFORCERS?
Nine (9) months is a long period please, yet someone with a former president status has not been buried due to unknown facts.
1). If the family chooses to bury ECL in South Africa, then why a private funeral?
2). If the government of Zambia wants ECL to be buried in Zambia at the Embassy Park where all the late Presidents were buried from what does the law says after the late President dies ?
3). If he died in Zambia, which country would they have chosen to bury him?
4). What are the demands of the family for this chapter to be concluded and of course to have ECL buried rightfully?
5). Why can’t the government just leave ECL family case in South Africa?
5). Must we forget about this funeral and come back to it after August elections or what?
My heart is bleeding 💔 iam not siding with the government or ECL family and I know iam not a lawyer to understand this issue but my heart is not at peace because Edgar Chagwa Lungu was our own President, the President for the whole Zambia 😭.
Even if is Embassy Park, Chifwema or South Africa Please ECL must be put to rest the world will laugh at us Zambians and Africans.
Oment Zambia

This article is written on a malicious premise. Has the government in the past eight months not stated its position?
Just the manner the aricle that Neverous mumba wrote about Fred Mmembe’s attempt to slander the Head of state is enough to see that there are individuals that want to keep bringing up an issue we all know the family lacks credibilty. If they did. Why have they lost the matter twice in the courts where Edgar Lungu’s family insists he be buried?
Citizens of South Africa have also asked why the insistance by the family on burying Edgar Lungu in their country. Precedence speaks in favour of the state.
We need to think critically when we seek to make a mountain out of a mole.
We spend too mich tome dwelling on petty issues instead of dealing with the issues that have a real bearing on the lives of Zambians and cultivating a productive attitude.
Edgar Lungu has been dead for months. Or allegdedly. What bearing does that have on PF members?Micheal Sata died. PF and its members moved on. We will die ar somepoint in our lives. Should our survivors then cease to live? This entire debacle was created by the family and PF. Now it seems to be a basis to decampaign HH cause the opposition has no plan for Zambians they never worked in the last five years and have only engaged in empty rethorical innuendo. That has no value to the lives of Zambians.
Aside from tribal slight and this what other basis does the opposition seek to remove HH?None….so please enough already….You didnt prepare for the exam. HH was studying knowing in 2026 he had an exam to write….lets have adults leading Political parties.
The writer of the article seems to be more worried about the “world laughing at us” than doing the right thing.
