We remain committed to working with Lungu family – Government
Secretary to the cabinet Patrick Kangwa says government has acknowledged the ruling by the South African Constitutional Court regarding the burial of late former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
Kindly follow us.
Kangwa says government respects the court’s decision but remains committed to working with the Lungu family to reach an arrangement that considers their wishes while upholding the rights of the state.
“This morning, the South African Constitutional Court dismissed the Lungu family’s application to appeal a High Court order to repatriate the former President’s body to Zambia,” Kangwa explained.
He reiterated that the government’s position remains unchanged and called on citizens to remain calm and avoid inflammatory remarks, urging everyone to keep the Lungu family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
