President Mnangagwa yesterday met the Mugabe family members at his Munhumutapa offices where they expressed appreciation on the Government support rendered to former President Robert Mugabe during his illness and the efforts being made to repatriate his remains from Singapore.


Speaking at the late national hero Major General Mugoba’s residence in Harare yesterday where he had gone to pay condolences, President Mnangagwa said Mugabe’s body was expected to arrive today in the afternoon.


“I am just coming from a meeting with traditional leaders from Zvimba,” he said. “They wanted to express their gratitude for the support Government rendered to our founding President from the time he has been unwell to date.


“The Chiefs said they had received reports of all the good work that the Government provided to the former President and thanked us for that.


“Tomorrow (today) we will be burying Maj Gen Mugoba and soon after that we will go to the airport to welcome our founding president.”
President Mnangagwa formally informed Cabinet of Mugabe’s death yesterday, and the gathering observed a moment of silence in honour of the former President.State media
