Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Zvimba, born Stanley Mhondoro, Thursday said he has nothing to do with the plot to summon former First Lady Grace Mugabe to a traditional court to force the exhumation of the late former President Robert Mugabe\u2019s remains.<\/p>\n

The summons was issued by the officer-in-charge Borrowdale Police Station, a chief inspector, an inspector, an assistant inspector, a messenger from Chief Zvimba\u2019s court identified as Elvis Hundere and Jeremiah Moyo, from the President\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

But speaking to NewsDay yesterday, Chief Zvimba distanced himself from the summons. He said:<\/p>\n

I know nothing about this issue (summons). I am hearing it only from inquiries coming from here and there. I know absolutely nothing about that.<\/p>\n

I have not seen anything and I have nothing to say about that because I am in the dark. I am not aware of anything.<\/p>\n

The summons was inviting Grace to Chief Zvimba\u2019s traditional court to answer to charges of \u201cimproperly\u201d burying Mugabe at his Kutama homestead in September 2019.<\/p>\n

The government wanted Mugabe to be buried at the National Heroes Acre and was already in the process of building a mausoleum for him, but the family refused to budge and buried him as per \u201chis wish\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mugabe\u2019s exiled nephew Patrick Zhuwao accused Mnangagwa of sponsoring the attempt to have his uncle\u2019s remains exhumed \u201cbecause he has been looking for a sceptre that he believes has the authority to be the leader of Zimbabwe\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana mocked Mugabe for \u201cbeing buried\u201d with a sceptre. He tweeted yesterday:<\/p>\n

Saka kachikule kakaita zvetsvimbo, tsvimbo yaiva<\/b><\/p>\n

useless paeconomy (so this old man was using a sceptre which failed to solve the country\u2019s economic woes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
