The Zambian government has argued in the Supreme Court of Appeal that it relies on the common law of the country and the agreement that was reached between them and the family of former president  Edgar Lungu. The agreement was to repatriate Lungu's  body from South Africa for a state funeral and burial in Zambia. Advocate Ben Stoop for the Zambian government contends that all the country's presidents are buried at Embassy Park in Lusaka. The family of the 6th president of Zambia seeks to overturn the decision of the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. The ruling found that Zambia is entitled to repatriate Lungu's remains for the purposes of a state funeral and burial. Advocate Stoop also contends that it is ill conceived to say the agreement was breached. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter Masiteng Makgala
