Two applications out.

Stop scrolling. You won't believe what
0:15
just happened in Ptoria, where lawyers
0:17
suited up not for fashion, but to throw
0:20
a former president's body into a
0:22
courtroom showdown. Welcome to the Edgar
0:24
Lungu repatriation showdown. part
0:28
judgment pending. The court halts the
0:31
funeral literally just hours before the
0:34
family tried to bury him in South
0:35
Africa. The Victoria High Court said,
0:38
"Hold your horses and your hearse." And
0:41
Interdict stopped the burial dead in its
0:43
tracks. Like a plot twist no one asked
0:45
for. Wait makes this soap opera look
0:48
tame. A family versus state faceoff. The
0:52
family wants a quiet private sendoff in
0:55
South Africa because apparently even the
0:58
afterlife isn't peaceful when politics
1:01
are involved. Meanwhile, Zambia's
1:04
government wants Lungu back home for
1:06
full state honors, waving the former
1:08
president benefits reinstated on death
1:10
card. So, while they're duking it out
1:12
over a coffin, you'd think there'd be
1:15
clarity. But nope, spills the real tea.
1:19
Who said what? And who didn't want that
1:22
guy there? Here's the kicker. The LMU
1:24
family says the late president
1:26
explicitly didn't want Hakeni Hitchima
1:29
at the funeral. Political drama alert.
1:33
Zambia's lawyers counter with meeting
1:35
minutes suggesting Langu did want
1:37
Hitchma there. Q. Courtroom mic drop. By
1:41
this point, the whole thing is more
1:42
tangled than your earbuds. But hang
1:45
tight. Comes at you full throttle. Two
1:48
months in limbo and still no grave. Fun
1:51
fact, Lungloo's body has been chilling
1:53
in a South African funeral home for over
1:55
two months. No burial, no closure, just
1:58
cold storage. Talk about waiting for
2:01
closure. Talk about a morbid Netflix
2:04
cliffhanger. But we're not done. Is the
2:07
legal fireball you've been waiting for.
2:10
The judiciary's final move and its
2:12
coming soon court drama alert. The
2:14
Ptoria High Court reserve judgment. But
2:17
don't worry, the climax arrives today,
2:22
Will Zambia get him back? The family
2:25
stick to their guns. Let the suspense
2:28
continue. So, there you have it. A
2:30
corpse caught in crossfire. A political
2:33
feud spilling into the afterlife. And a
2:35
nation on pause while a judge mulls over
2:38
whether a man belongs here or there. If
