# Members of the Progressive Forces of South Africa are staging a picket outside the Pretoria High Court today. The court is hearing a dispute over the burial of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu, who died in South Africa in June. His death sparked a dispute between his family and the Zambian government over whether he should be buried locally or repatriated. Progressive Forces national organiser, Bonang Sepoloane, says they oppose a South African burial, stating that the move disrespects Zambia’s sovereignty, citing political and diplomatic concerns.
