LUNGU BODY BATTLE ESCALATES: STATE TAKES POSSESSION AS FAMILY FIGHTS BACK
The saga over the body of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu continues. The Zambian government says it has taken possession of the remains following a failed appeal by the family against a court ruling allowing repatriation.

The dispute between the state and the family has intensified, with the government insisting on a state funeral while the family pushes for a private burial. The matter has been ongoing since his death in Pretoria last year.

The family has raised concerns over legal procedures and is seeking to have the remains returned to the funeral home as tensions continue to rise.
