Former President Robert Mugabe’s family held a secret memorial for the late for him.

The state owned Sunday news reports that the memorial which took place on the 19th October, didn’t have some family members and some Zvimba traditional chiefs.

The family spokesperson, Walter Chidakwa spoke to the publication and he said: “Yes, we had the memorial service two weeks ago, on October 19, but it was a private family function. Why are you interested in knowing who attended the memorial service, is there anyone who comes to you asking details of those attending memorials at your own family events.”

The development comes as it was revealed before the official burial at the late’s rural home, the family had held another secret burial, which the family later said had involved only Mugabe’s clothes.
