By Farai D Hove| ZANU PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa is literally buying his late boss Robert Mugabe’s body using title deeds to the deceased’s houses, it has emerged.

The latest is a development from a protracted war between the Mugabe family and Mnangagwa’s administration for the corpse ever since Mugabe died last week but one.

Last week saw the scheduled heroes’ burial which meant for Sunday being cancelled after the family said they would give to the government something else not the actual body, to bury.

On Thursday, Leo unequivocaly told ZimEye reports of a deal with the government to hand over his uncle Mugabe’s body were false and misleading.

The family has from day one repeatedly stood their ground saying that they will bury their loved one privately during a chief’s ceremony even journalists are not allowed to attend. WATCH BELOW the family spokesman, Leo, announcing the cancellation.

Recorded audios of meetings held between the family and the government have revealed a can of worms with Mnangagwa’s ZANU PF party officials announcing that there would be repercussions if they do not get the body.

In Zimbabwe once a person is declared a national hero, especially if they served in a government capacity, their body falls into state hands.

Leo has in the latest development announced saying Mnangagwa is now working on modalities to transfer the title deeds of the two houses, Blue Roof land, and Bona’s Mt Pleasant house to the former President’s family, to ensure they have decent accommodation. At a news conference in Zvimba on Sunday, Mr Mugabe confirmed that Zimbabwe’s late founding father did not own the houses. “I was told by President Mnangagwa that the party will help to transfer the title deeds of the properties to the former President’s family. I do not want to jeopardise the process.” “It’s so funny the party (Zanu-PF) is the one that bought the first house in Mt Pleasant and the land on Blue Roof property. “It leaves the former President Mugabe without a house in Harare,” he said. Zanu-PF Secretary for Administration, Dr Obert Mpofu, confirmed the development saying they were doing the paper work to transfer the properties. “The process is currently underway to transfer them to the (Mugabe) family,” said Dr Mpofu.
