South African court rules Edgar Lungu must be buried in Zambia • FRANCE 24 English

A South African court has ruled that the body of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu must be returned to Lusaka for a state funeral. The decision is a setback for his family, who had wanted him buried in South Africa in a private ceremony. The legal dispute with the Zambian government began in June, after Lungu died while receiving medical treatment.
