Human rights lawyer, Advocate Simba Chitando, says the High Court in Pretoria is likely to rule in favour of the family of Zambias former president, Edgar Lungu .
This after the court granted an interdict halting the burial of Lungu yesterday.
The Zambian government wants Lungu to have a state funeral in Zambia - something Lungus family has refused to allow because of his bitter political feud with current Zambian President, Hakainde Hichilema.
Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba said parties had agreed after consultations that Lungu would not be buried until the case is heard.
The next hearing regarding this court case will be held on August 4.
