The Supreme Court of Appeal SCA has granted the family of the late former Zambian president Edgar Lungu leave to appeal a high court judgement that granted the Zambian government the order to repatriate his body to his country for burial.
Lungu died on June 5 after suffering cardiac complications from a surgery at Mediclinic Medforum Hospital in Pretoria.
The high court halted plans for Lungu to be buried in Johannesburg on June 25, hours before a private ceremony arranged by the family was due to start.
