ZAMBIA: National Mourning Period for Former President Edgar Lungu Comes to an End

Lusaka, June 19, 2025 –

The national mourning period for former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has officially ended, effective June 19, 2025.

The government had extended the mourning period to facilitate a state funeral with full honors, following a mutual understanding reached with the Lungu family on June 15, 2025.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the plans for the state funeral could not be fully realized. The government expressed gratitude to President Cyril Ramaphosa and the people of South Africa for their cooperation and compassion during this period.

In a statement, the government acknowledged the complexities surrounding the burial arrangements and emphasized the importance of respecting the nation’s laws and traditions.

The government urged citizens to maintain calm and orderliness as the country returns to normalcy.

The Lungu family is expected to proceed with the burial arrangements in Zambia, with the government assuring its continued engagement and support.

The government reiterated its condolences to the Lungu family and the people of Zambia, saying, “Our hearts remain with you.”

The statement concluded with a message of peace and unity, emphasizing that no amount of lawlessness would be tolerated during this difficult time.

May the soul of the former President rest in eternal peace.
