In a landmark ruling, the Pretoria High Court has ordered that the body of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu be released and repatriated to Zambia. The courtβs decision paves the way for Lungu to receive a State Funeral in his home country, as officially arranged by the Zambian government.
The ruling ends a legal dispute over where the former leader should be laid to rest, affirming the significance of national protocol and honoring his service to Zambia. This decision has been welcomed by both governments and supporters eager to pay their respects in a formal ceremony befitting Lunguβs legacy.
