The repatriation of the mortal remains of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu will take place Wednesday morning.
The sixth Zambian President passed away earlier this month after a period of medical treatment.
His family and the Zambian government reached an agreement to accord Lungu with a decent sendoff.

Who is Zungu?
Am sure, South Africa is tired of thia whole drama.
He rather die in a foreign country than building a better hospital for Zambians
South Africa you are being mocked by the lungu family
😮🎉❤
Til further notice
Why was he registered under an alias?
Zambia treated Lungu badly. but you are not better. You forgave apartheid for murder torture and land, grab but cant forgive Zuma,.
There is too much politics and confusion,
How embarrassing 🇿🇲
Your report is wrong, please put your facts together
Yes
The body did not leave RSA today 😢
Its apity some people want to use the corps a get way to riches.
By the way sofie did you know that his lawyer he announced stupid message to tel the zambia that the body will not come …the problem is those people in THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO …HH already finalized everything the problem is pf ..they think they can use his body for political issues we all know very bad pf
When you are doing announcements first v
No the families agread becareful they way you twisting the stories people are annoyed here what pf are doing president of zim didnt help to bring back the body because also that nelson is like these pf behaviors
Did the govt representative s demanded to see the dead body at hospital
My thinking is this is a scam
The guy must be playing games
Chances of Lungu being alive might be high
Is this not the plan B he promised
Hi
Is not a Zambian
Let them do whatever they want to do
they are enjoying your country please accommodate them
Bring back the body of my president
Whoever is in power today will be out soon, this world is only own by the creator not man
We are sorry South Africa 🇿🇦 😢. Forgive us
Zambians you are embarrassing us
we miss you Daddy go well 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏💔💔💔💔
You SA have tryed i don't know what Zambian s wants
I wish the South African government would just order the Lungu’s to take ECL’ mortal remains home asap,they are being unnecessarily difficult and disrespectful to both the Zambian and South African governments.
😅😅😅
Body did not come.
His name is not Zongu. It is Edgar Lungu. As a news reporter that is unacceptable especially new reporting on his repatriation.
Please, Let's let the Big Man Rest🙏
Thank you south African for taking care of yo
Are there no hospitals in Zambia??? It is not right and bad example to treat presidents in foreign countries. I hope Africa invests in infrastructure and stop embarrassing Africans. If it is not SA, it is America. Now America has sanctioned a lot of African countries, the lid is opened. Shame on African leaders for not investing in infrastructure. Where will ordinary citizens get treatment when you do not have resources. America and the west are calling Africa names because of you
Their contries are moturies
Its embarrassing that our heads of state die in medical facilities outside the country they ruled and had influence over.
Why not make a deliberate decision to prioritise health care for the benefit and pride of 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲? Sure 50 + years of independence should free us from this disgrace…
👍
RIP. former President of Zambia E. Lungu.
He was a dictator,Dictators don't build hospitals, only stealing a country's wealthy
He destroyed his country and want to be treated in another country! Why?
This is applying for problems
Iam relieved from the negative vortex of burying the remains of HE Edgar Lungu in South Africa.It's
more than a match made in heaven for him to be buried in his homeland,Zambia.May
his soul Rest In Bliss !
So us what HH has built since in office only toilets .
😢
Soutn Africa loves loves foreign nationals. They even want to bury Lungu in their backyard.
V,🤩😂
Rest in peace
Am naming my Dota Sophie,
I suggest that the body of late Edgar should return to Zambia and Mr HH shouldn't attend the funeral as the Man said
According to African's believe if the person said anything before he/she it must be done the way he/she said
