A Nation's Uneasy Rest: Edgar Lungu's Burial Dispute Deepens with SA Court Ruling Looming!
An unusual and sobering development is unfolding in South Africa, where a criminal investigation linked to the death of former Zambian President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has commenced nearly eight months after his passing in June 2025. This situation is significant because allegations of poisoning, which have circulated politically for months, have now formally entered the machinery of South African law enforcement. This formal entry mandates adherence to legal procedure and court orders, independent of political sentiment or grief.
A letter dated February 11, 2026, from Mashele Attorneys Inc, representing members of the Lungu family, confirms that the South African Police Service (SAPS) has issued five subpoenas in connection with an alleged poisoning investigation. The lawyers have stated that the family has complied, and statements have been delivered
