The former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Gabriel Mugabe, has reportedly told his family members that he does not want to be buried at the Heroes Acre shrine in Warren Hills.
Zimbabwe independent reports that Mugabe does not want his funeral to be presided over by President Emmerson Mnangagwa who took power from him in 2017 with the help of security forces.
Speaking to the Independent, an unnamed family member said:
Mugabe has made it clear to his family that he does not wish to be buried at the National Heroes’ Acre anymore. He does not want to be associated with Mnangagwa and all those he now views as his betrayers and tormentors. He has said he doesn’t want them to sing and pontificate over his dead body.
He has informed relatives about his decision and this is known in the family; it’s also now known in government circles.
These reports are emerging when president Mnangagwa recently revealed that his predecessor who is now 95 years old has been bedridden in Singapore for the past three months.
In the run-up towards the 2018 elections, Mugabe rallied behind opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, to the chagrin of ZANU PF members who announced that Mugabe had forfeited his right to be buried at the heroes acre.

Age is taking a toll on the poor soul
For many years there have been countless reports that he had died. He was even said to have had syphilis of the brain over 60 years ago! Well, now that he is talking about what he wants at his own funeral, his demise must be pretty soon. His death wont make any difference to the country. I’ve said for years that he is just a figurehead and that ZANU-PF is the real evil.
I really adhore e oldy for all tricks n lifeline. Its for him to prounce his wishes b4 hand. But on e other hand luks e prof. had to pp n throw his funny things into it kk. Most likely e nephew Zhu had to chip in also.
Old Bob is scared to meet up with he assasineted during his reign of power that is why is so scared he will find them waiting for him in the coridour of the cemetery
It’s time up for Robert Gabriel Mugabe

That’s the least he could be doing for his country. Save the country’s monies. After stealing so much from the poor, then still be expecting to be honoured with the presidential burial? No ways. He’s come to his senses at last. Let him be buried just like anybody dying in the country and buried anonimously. I’m not a Zimbabwean, don’t stay there, never even been there, but that ‘s my take after what he has done to that country.
Is RGM capable of thinking this through with Grace & her kids breathing over his shoulder? Sally is at Heroes and we know that had she lived, today’s RGM would be a very different man. I think grab him and rest him with Sally. Any other place will be a restless address, moreso when Grace comes to lie by his side. As for Zim Gvt, all you need to do is reserve a space at the hill for Grace and its done! No need to fly delegations to Singapore. The StopIt lady will bargain with the old man as a card in hand right to the end.
Why is he running away from the shrine
Why not boycott treatment in Malaysia as well. Zim will save quite a lot.
NOTE THIS…..ALL THOSE SOULS YOU BUTCHERED DURING YOUR BLOODY REIGN WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU REGARDLESS OF YOUR BUIAL PLACE
He feels haunted by the souls of Innocent Zimbabweans butchered during his reign. He cows are coming home at last
Why not??????? He he was and still a National Hero so no ways we have to bury him at the National Shrine the same way we are going to bury his successor as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
Don’t confuse between heroes and dictators…..
Idi Amin wasn’t even buried in his country…..he was hated by many
