President HichilemaPresident Hakainde Hichilema has responded to social media assertions that his government conducted a postmortem on the late former president Edgar Lungu’s body for ritual purposes.
“I am not a witch. When I was being targeted in the opposition, why didn’t I use those skills back then? I am a church elder, and I cannot practice witchcraft on a dead body,” he says.
Speaking on during a special interview this morning, Hichilema said his wish is to bury the 6th president and bury him in his home.
“We need to give him a decent burial, a military burial because he was the commander in Chief,” said Hichilema.
