Former Zambian president Lungu is not dead
Analysis
The claim that former Zambian president Edgar Lungu is not dead is contradicted by a strong consensus among multiple sources reporting his death. Despite all sources being marked as [Not-Trusted], they consistently state that Lungu died on June 5 or 6, 2025, in Pretoria, South Africa, after receiving medical treatment. These reports include references to official statements from his party and family, as well as coverage of his funeral and related political events following his death. There is no credible evidence or source suggesting he is still alive. The uniformity of the information across independent outlets, even if not fully trusted, strongly indicates that the claim is false.
