 The children of former Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe have appealed a ruling by a traditional chief ordering the exhumation of the remains of the former leader, arguing that the traditional leader has no jurisdiction on the matter. In May, Chief Inzvimba gave a ruling ordering the body of Mugabe be exhumed and be buried at the national hero's acre in the capital Harari. Mugabe, who died in 2019, have refused to be buried at the national hero's acres in Harari over fears that some individuals, especially his political opponent, might steal his remains and use them in traditional rituals. Chief Inzvimba accused Mugabe's widow Grace of breaking local customs by burying her husband in a manner deemed inappropriate in the courtyard of the Avura home in Kutama, Inzvimba district.
