Former Zambian President, Edgar Lungu to be buried privately in South Africa.

The late former Zambian President Edgar Lungu’s family has announced that he will be laid to rest in South Africa. This decision came after failing to reach an agreement with the Zambian government on the funeral arrangements for the former leader, who passed away while receiving specialized medical treatment in South Africa. In a statement, Lungu’s family expressed their gratitude for the support and condolences received from around the world and thanked the South African government for respecting their choice to have a private funeral and burial in the country. They also called for peace among Zambians and appreciated the understanding shown by friends, supporters, and the public. Details regarding the funeral and burial arrangements will be communicated to the Zambian and South African public in the near future.
