Former Zambian president remains unburied 10 months after death
JOHANNESBURG (AP): A feud over his funeral has meant the body of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu still hasn’t been buried nearly a year after he died in a South African hospital. Lungu’s family wanted to bury him in South Africa because of his bitter political rivalry with current Zambian leader Hakainde Hichilema. But the Zambian government has gone to court to win custody of Lungu’s remains so that it can repatriate them for a state funeral.
