Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa is already performing the duties of a head of state in spite of the fact that nation is still waiting for the Constitutional Court’ s verdict.

Mnangagwa will officiate at the burial of Thokozile Mathuthu on Sunday. Mnangagwa has also officiated at the Heroes Day and Defence Forces commemorations on Monday and Tuesday respectively.

Zanu-PF secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu yesterday said Mathuthu’s burial had been tentatively set for Sunday following consultations with her family.

Mathuthu(61) died on Monday at her home in Harare and was declared a national heroine. Mathuthu’s body will leave Harare on Thursday for Hwange where it will lie in state at her house and the body will be flown to Bulawayo on Friday to give people in the country’s second largest city an opportunity to bid farewell
to Mathuthu.

The final  prayer service for Mathuthu will be held on Saturday by the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Harare ahead of burial on Sunday, according to government sources.
