OUTSPOKEN former minister and Zanu PF politburo member, Tshinga Dube has defended late former President Robert Mugabe’s family for burying the once fierce ruler at his rural home in Zvimba.
Addressing journalists at the Bulawayo Press Club on Africa Day, the ex-Makokoba legislator and one time Mugabe minister said his former boss died a bitter man.
Mugabe died September 2019, almost two years after he was dethroned in a military assisted coup masterminded by his one-time deputy and incumbent leader Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Following his death, spirited attempts by government to bury him at the National Heroes Acre came a cropper as his family insisted on fulfilling the late leader’s bedside wishes of being buried in his rural home.
