Zimbabwean Government- Mugabe To Be Buried Sept 15

–Former Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe to be buried on September 15,according to memo sent to embassies.

Memo sent to embassies by Zimbabwe government indicated that the Zimbabwean government has planned a state funeral for ex-president, Robert Mugabe in a sports stadium in Harare next Saturday, with a burial ceremony a day later.

Zimbabweans have been confused about when they would get to pay their last respects to Mugabe since his death in a Singapore hospital on Friday after a long illness.

Mugabe had dominated Zimbabwean politics for almost four decades from independence in 1980 until he was removed by his own army in a November 2017 coup.

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.

It said heads of state would be expected to leave the stadium immediately after the funeral ceremony because officials would be busy with preparations for the burial.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who worked closely with Mugabe for decades before helping to oust him, granted Mugabe the status of national hero within hours of his death.

Mugabe, before being introduced to politics he was a trained teacher.

Leaders in the world were shocked by death of the liberator and strong leader of Zimbabweans.
