Tsvangirai to be buried in Buhera on Monday

Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai will be buried at his rural home in Buhera on Monday next to his wife Susan who died in a car accident in March 2009.

Tsvangirai died in South Africa on Wednesday after battling with colon cancer for nearly 18 months.

According to the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, Tsvangirai’s body will arrive in Zimbabwe tomorrow evening on board Air Zimbabwe.

The government has offered Tsvangirai, Prime Minister of Zimbabwe from 2009 to 2013, a state funeral.

The ZBC said his body will lie in state at the Tsvangirai family residence at Number 49 Kew Drive in Highlands and it will be taken to the Robert Mugabe Square for a public farewell on Sunday.
