JOHANNESBURG - The family of Zambia’s former president Edgar Lungu said that the Pretoria High Court erred in its judgment, which ordered that he be buried in Lusaka. The Lungu family has filed court papers challenging the high court’s judgment. They have asked for leave to appeal the decision in the supreme court.

After months of dispute, Pretoria high court says Edgar Lungu’s family must hand over his body for burial in Zambia.

South African court rules Zambia’s ex-president Edgar Lungu must be buried in Lusaka, overriding family objections in a high-profile burial dispute.
