Familia ya aliyekuwa Rais wa Sita wa Zambia, Dkt. Edgar Lungu imetangaza kuwa mazishi yake yatafanyika nchini Afrika ya Kusini kwa ibada ya faragha
Taarifa iliyotolewa na Msemaji wa Familia hiyo Mheshimiwa Makebi Zulu leo Juni 20 imeeleza kuwa nchini ya Afrika ya Kusini imeridhia kuipa familia hiyo uhuru wa kufanya ibada muhimu ya mazishi bila kuwaingilia
"Kwa niaba ya familia ya Lungu, tunapenda kutangaza kwamba mazishi na ibada ya mwisho ya mpendwa wetu, Dkt. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, yatafanyika hapa Afrika Kusini, kwa mujibu wa matakwa ya familia ya kuwa na ibada ya faragha." imesema taarifa
"Tunapenda kutoa shukrani zetu za dhati kwa Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Afrika Kusini kwa msaada wao wa heshima na kwa kuheshimu uamuzi wa familia wa kufanya ibada ya faragha hapa Afrika Kusini." ameongeza Makebi
Hata hivyo taarifa imesema kuwa itaendelea kutafuta mshikamano na amani baina ya Wazambia katika kipindi hiki kigumu huku wakieleza kuwa hivi karibuni itatolewa taarifa juu ya siku ya mazishi na ibada ya mwisho ya Lungu.
Haya yanajiri baada ya jana Juni 19, Rais wa Zambia Hakainde Hichilema kutangaza kuwa Hayati Lungu atazikwa nchini Zambia kwa heshima kiserikali na sio nchi nyingine yoyote
