Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The family of Robert Mugabe, says they won’t exhume his remains for reburial at the national shrine. A traditional Chief earlier this week ruled that his village burial violated traditional cultural practises. Family spokesman and Mugabe's nephew Leo, however told Focus on Africa’s Veronique Edwards that though he died bitter following the 2017 coup, his wish was to be buried next to his mother.
