Will Grace allow Mugabe to be buried next to Sally?

Former President Robert Mugabe seems to be taking controversy right up to his grave.

Though no one is disputing his national hero status, questions are still being raised on where he will be buried – the national Heroes’ Acre or his home at Kutama.

Now reports say the family will decide when his wife, Grace, arrives from Singapore tomorrow.

If Grace has any say, will she allow Mugabe to be buried next to Sally when all indications are that she will not be buried at the national shrine when she dies?

If Mugabe is buried at Kutama who will be buried next to Sally as there are reports that a space was reserved for Mugabe next to her grave?

The social media frenzy will continue for the next five days.

Despite being loathed by the West, Mugabe has dominated their news pages since his death in Singapore on Friday.
