ZAMBIA ‘NOW A LAUGHING STOCK’ REV. SUMAILI BLAMES UPND OVER ECL BURIAL DELAY
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
Former Minister of Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili has charged that Zambia has not made progress in upholding national values and principles during the four years of the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND).
Rev. Sumaili says the country has experienced declining standards in governance, patriotism, national unity, democracy and constitutionalism attributing the situation to what she describes as the prolonged delay in the burial of former President Edgar Lungu.
Speaking in an interview with Sun FM TV News, Rev. Sumaili said Zambia has become a world laughing stock due to unresolved legal issues that have kept Mr. Lungu unburied for nearly ten months.
She argued that had the country made progress in upholding morality, President Hakainde Hichilema would have adhered to the wishes of the late president and his family, who she said have remained in prolonged mourning.
Rev. Sumaili further stated that Mr Lungu’s soul has not yet rested in peace, adding that the continued delay in his burial carries both spiritual and physical consequences.
Edgar Lungu died on 5th June 2025 but has not yet been buried.

This woman is incredibly irritating. Enjoy the torment of constantly hearing the chaos in your mind, as you mourn your savior, Lungu. Such behavior exemplifies insanity. Since reports of Lungu’s supposed death, many have perished, yet the world continues its relentless rotation. You should consider visiting a therapist at Chainama Hospital. Truly hopeless individuals!
Makebi has made step 1 but won’t be assisted by ichitumbi to get to national presidency. At least he will yield to burying the copse in August
Burial of one dead person cannot be so much drama. That has nothing to do with national values. If the family want, keep the burger unburied as long as they want, that cannot define my life.
You’ve hallucinating, you’re the laughing stoke, you say unhinged things fake church woman
Indeed we are laughing for having someone like you callling themselves “reverend” who ruled this country through thieving,gassing people, beating anyone who never agreed with the worst policies. PF was the worst project for this nation.
