Mugabe's body will be finally laid to rest in his village Kutama, after the government and his family were at odds over his burial site. FMTNews

Robert Mugabe’s body will be buried in his village Kutama on Sunday night, followed by a private burial early next week.

The family of Mugabe, who died in Singapore last week, and Zimbabwe’s government have been at odds over whether he would be buried in his homestead in Kutama, northwest of Harare, or at the National Heroes Acre in the capital. Mugabe, whose autocratic rule ended in a military coup in 2017, died last week aged 95. His body was flown back from Singapore on Wednesday.

His tyrannical leadership and economic mismanagement forced millions to escape a country crippled by hyper-inflation and shortages of food, drugs and fuel.
