Jane Mlambo| Funeral service for the late former President Robert Mugabe which was set to take place in his rural home in Zvimba today has been postponed to tomorrow morning.

Mugabe who died in Singapore on the 6th of September returned to Zimbabwe on Wednesday and the government organised three programmes allowing citizens to pay their last respect to the former President who led the country for 37 years.

After two body viewing sessions at Rufaro stadium and National Sports Stadium yesterday, the family were expected to take the body to Zvimba today to allow his kinsmen to have an opportunity to bid him farewell.

Though there has not been any communication from the family, ZimEye understands that the programme is now set for tomorrow amid reports that Grace Mugabe is not feeling well.

Mugabe’s burial arrangements still remain mired in controversy as the family and government engage in endless battle with the former against a National heroes acre burial while the latter is pushing for him to be buried at the national shrine which risk losing respect without the founding father of independent Zimbabwe.
