Family denies feud with Zimbabwe government over Mugabe funeral

HARARE - As confusion over the final resting place of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe continues, his family denied claims of a feud with the government and insisted the family would decide on where he will be buried.

"There's no feud between the family and government. As to where he will be buried is dependent on the family, the family and chiefs in Zvimba are the people that will determine basically where he's going to be buried. He said on Saturday, the Pan Africanist icon's body will then be taken to the National Sports Stadium for the funeral where international and African dignitaries were expected to bid him farewell before final burial on September 15.
