Mugabe’s Body Arrives Home From Singapore

The remains of Zimbabwe’s former president Robert Mugabe arrived at the country’s main airport in the early hours of today but his burial still remains a source of mystery amid a dispute between some family members and the government.
Mugabe who ruled the southern African nation for 37 years until he was ousted by his own army in November 2017, died in a Singapore hospital last Friday.

Crowds had gathered at the airport well before the scheduled arrival time, with some people wearing T-shirts bearing Mugabe’s face and others with Mnangagwa’s image, while music blared from loudspeakers.
A convoy of 4×4 vehicles with number plates bearing the letters “RG Mugabe” and the former leader’s signature were also on the runway. Mugabe’s wife Grace and Zimbabwean Vice President Kembo Mohadi were among those accompanying the body of the former leader on the plane.
President Mnangagwa, top officials and other Mugabe family members were at the airport to receive the body.
