Tourism Minister on State Burial of Ebony

“That’s a misconception. It is a private family issue. We told the family that on behalf of the ministry, we will help give her a befitting burial and that’s exactly what we are doing.

State burials are at the discretion of the president. That’s not what we promised. Nobody told anyone about state burial but the family is happy.”
