For reasons stated in this video, the family of former president Edgar Lungu who died on 5 June in South Africa has decided against taking his body to Zambia today, as earlier scheduled. “It's our hope that someday, his remains will be repatriated back home and buried”, it said.

In any funeral-related standoff between the family of a deceased former president of Zambia and the government, whether under PF or the UPND, my position remains unchanged: let the government respect the wishes of the family.

The standoff between the family of Edgar Lungu and the Zambian state over the repatriation of his remains could have been easily resolved. In this interview with SABC, I explain how and offer my impartial but certainly not neutral analysis of Hichilema's address last evening.

The confidence that SABC News International Editor Sophie Mokoena brings to some subjects that are clearly out of her depth is alarming. A case in point is Sophie’s commentaries on the standoff between the Zambian government and the family of late former president Edgar Lungu.

There is a lot to be said about HOW Edgar Lungu died. Claims that the former president died of complications DURING surgery are false. I explain why in this interview with Diamond Media held on Tuesday.

If people questioned and criticized government actions the way they question and criticize Sishuwa we would have been in a much better place.

The Constitutional Court has declared the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Bill Number 7 of 2025 as unconstitutional. The court ruled that the amendment was initiated without wide consultations with the people and ordered the Govt to restart the process, this time properly.
