Zambian government tries to stop a former president’s funeral taking place in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG: The Zambian government filed last-minute legal papers seeking to stop the private burial of former President Edgar Lungu in South Africa on Wednesday, forcing members of Lungu’s family to attend a court hearing dressed in their black funeral attire. The hearing in the South African administrative capital, Pretoria, began around an hour before Lungu’s funeral service was due to take place. It was not clear when a judge would issue a ruling and if the ex-leader could be buried. Meanwhile, mourners arrived for the funeral service at a Johannesburg church around 60 kilometers away.
