The ruling ZANU PF is reportedly contemplating turning the Blue Roof Mansion into a museum while the family of the late former founding leader of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe is still residing there.

ZBC News reports that ZANU PF secretary for administration, Obert Mpofu, revealed the development.

A few weeks ago, the party said that it was in the process of transferring title deeds of the mansion to the Mugabe family.

Analysts argued back then that the move was meant to bribe the Mugabe family into accepting to bury Mugabe at the National Heroes Acre and not Kutama his rural home where he was buried last Saturday.

The development could be viewed as retaliation to the embarrassment that was brought to the government when the family decided to take the former veteran leader to his rural home.
