💨 Abstract

Former Zambian President Edgar Lungu will be buried in South Africa due to a dispute between his family and the Zambian government over his funeral. Lungu's family wanted a private ceremony and barred President Hakainde Hichilema from attending. The family expressed gratitude to South Africa for supporting their decision. Hichilema canceled the national mourning period, citing the need to move forward.
