A Zimbabwe Chief has ordered the corpse of revolutionary leader Robert Gabriel Mugabe to be exhumed.
Chief Stanly Wurayayi Mhondoro directed Mugabe’s widow Grace Mugabe to exhume the remains and reburry them at the National Heroes Acre in Harare within 30 days.
Grace was found guilty of breaking traditional norms for burying Mugabe in his home and fined five cows and a goat. She was also ordered to pay for exhumation and reburial.
Wurayayi who has been known to envy Mugabe’s fashion style for eons also ordered the late president’s clothes and belongings to be surrendered to him.
Although the chief said the decision was made after a complaint lodged by a clan member, a family spokesman intimated Wurayayi was after Mugabe’s power.
“He wants our father’s body for traditional rituals. The witches saw the thirst for power burning in his eyes and gave him this task.”
Mugabe’s closest son refused to comment on the issue noting it was none of his business.
