A South African funeral company keeping the body of Zambia’s late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has raised concern over the prolonged court battles delaying his burial, warning that the extended storage period could soon compromise the condition of the remains.
In a letter seen by KBN TV dated 11th August, 2025, addressed to both the Lungu family and the Zambian government, Two Mountain Burial Services Ltd expresses worry at the timeframe in which the matter is being finalized.
A company legal Department representative Johan Furstenberg has particularly noted that while the body remains well preserved for now, the risk of deterioration is increasing with time.
