Rhodes died in 1902. His self-chosen burial place is at Matobo Hills National Park, south of Bulawayo. “We still have Rhodes’ remains in Matobo. What do you think about it? If you go to the shrine, you don’t know whether you are talking to Rhodes or our ancestors. His remains must be returned to where he hailed from and we can also have our ancestral remains which are being kept in Europe,” said Mnangagwa.

The gravesite is a tourist attraction, visited by thousands of tourists both local and foreign. It lies at the summit of a hill known as the “World’s View.” Locals call the hill where Rhodes lies “Malindadzimu”, a word meaning “burial place of the defied ancestors”.

Nobody will ever rest in peace in this godforsaken hellhole named Zimbabwe.

This dictator leader must fix Zimbabwe first. Your people's are all over the continent like lost ship. Exhumed CJ Rhodes can't solve your collapse economy. By the way why Zimbabwean cannot return in mass exodus to remove ZANUPF? This nonsense must come to end.

Doesn't he have an economy to fix?
