Only in Africa!.
Grace is in Singapore at present, the headline in the local news

“Apparently, VOA reports that more than 20 policemen, believed to have been deployed from Harare and Chinhoyi, yesterday prevented journalists from attending the case at Chief Zvimba’s court at Murombedzi Growth Point.

Meanwhile, reports are that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is behind the plot to exhume Mugabe’s body with a belief that his predecessor was buried with a mystic scepter, or “Tsvimbo yaMambo.”

According to Mugabe’s exiled nephew Patrick Zhuwawo, Mnangagwa believes that the Tsvimbo would give him commanding authority as a leader.

At one point President Emmerson Mnangagwa reportedly indicated that Heads of States in the region were not happy with the way in which Mugabe was buried.”

THE widow of former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has been ordered by a traditional court to give away five cows and two goats for improperly burying her husband, the family said.

The court, which cannot compel the accused but whose decisions have a strong symbolic impact, met on Thursday morning in the absence of Grace Mugabe, according to a source close to the family.

The former first lady is accused of burying her husband, who died in 2019 at the age of 95, in the courtyard of his home in Kutama, some 56 miles west of the capital Harare.
