Harare - A plane has left Zimbabwe for Singapore carrying government officials and relatives to bring home the body of Robert Mugabe, but it was still not clear where the former leader would be buried, a family spokesman said on Monday.

Leo Mugabe, the late president's nephew and family spokesman, said a charter plane left Harare for Singapore just after 9 a.m. on Monday.But when pressed on where Mugabe would be buried, Leo Mugabe was non-committal. In some parts of Zimbabwe, burials of chiefs are a secret affair and people are only told the resting place afterwards.

Revered by many as a liberator who freed his people from white minority rule, Mugabe was vilified by others for wrecking one of Africa's most promising economies and ruthlessly crushing his opponents.
