A Zimbabwean chief has accused former first lady Grace Mugabe of inappropriately burying the countryâs late President, Robert Mugabe at the familyâs homestead, and has called for her to appear before a village court to face charges.
Mugabe has also been instructed to exhume the remains of the late former president so they can be reburied at a gravesite next to his mother Bona.
In the letter, Chief Zvimba says, âYou are facing charges of burying the late Robert Gabriel Mugabe at his homestead. This is unheard of in Chief Zvimbaâs area. At the same time, you are accused of abandoning Robert Gabriel Mugabeâs property which is scattered nationwide.â

THE late former President Robert Mugabe’s family yesterday rubbished moves by a Zvimba traditional leader to summon former First Lady Grace Mugabe to appear before his traditional court on a charge of “improper” burial of the country’s former strongman.
Mugabe, who was deposed by the military in a coup in November 2017, died a bitter man in September 2019 at a hospital in Singapore.
The period leading to his burial was marred by haggling over his place of interment between his family and the government. The family buried him at his rural home in Zvimba, insisting it was his wish, while the government wanted him buried at the National Heroes Acre, where its centre-piece marque depicts him as the ultimate hero.
