President Emmerson Mnangagwa has left the country for Angola to attend the burial of former
President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Jose Eduardo dos Santos, died in a clinic in Spain last month on July 8 at 79 years old.
He will be buried Sunday in Luanda on his 80th birthday. His remains were flown home on Saturday (August 20) following a ruling by a Spanish.
One of the former president’s daughters, “Tchizé” dos Santos, 44, wanted a family funeral in Spain, where Dos Santos had lived since 2019.
She accused the Angolan government of wanting to instrumentalise her father’s funeral before elections that are expected to be close for the ruling party.
