S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal granted the family of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu leave to appeal a ruling allowing the Zambian government to repatriate his body for burial. Lungu died in Pretoria in June. His family says he wished to be buried in South Africa, while authorities insist on a state funeral in Lusaka. A hearing date is yet to be set.
