August 7, 2025
We turn our attention to a story that has gripped not only Zambia but the entire SADC region – the emotional and legal uncertainty surrounding the burial of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu.
The Pretoria High Court recently halted the burial proceedings, leaving the Lungu family in an emotionally agonising state of limbo. At the centre of this unfolding situation is a family trying to grieve under the glare of political tension and public scrutiny.
Joining us now for this deeply personal conversation is Makebi Zulu lawyer, former Member of Parliament, and family spokesperson who sheds light on how the Lungu family is navigating this incredibly painful and complex chapter.
