The Zanu PF Youth League made clear their position on former President Robert Mugabe’s decision that he should not be buried at the National Heroes Acre in Harare when he died.

The youth league made their position clear and announced it to Mugabe even before he died.

Speaking to the media shortly after reports of Mugabe’s decision, the youth league deputy secretary Lewis Matutu said the ruling party would not lose sleep over Mugabe’s decision indicating that the former President had denied numerous other people who deserved the status.

“That has got nothing to do with us and Mugabe is just an individual. Perhaps in my view, it is because he understands that he barred a lot of deserving heroes to be buried at this shrine.

“Talk of comrade Chinx (Dickson Chingaira) who amongst many other war veterans deserved to be laid to rest here, are lying elsewhere. I hope that the leadership will consider and perhaps rebury that fellow comrade who was working dearly for his country,” said Matutu.

“So, it’s not an issue that the former President says he does not want to be buried here. Neither is there anyone who is willing to see him buried here against his will,” he said.
