According to Zibwabean media, Mugabe gave instruction on where he would be buried, and that was at his village of Zvimba, about 100 kilometers northwest of Harare.

He didn't want to be buried at the country's National Heroes Acre.

Grace can't go against the wishes of her husband. It would be a dishonoring of his memory. As of two weeks ago, I heard expressions such as 'principles cannot be sacrificed for political expedience', a relative said.

Mugabe's body is expected to be flown back home this week.
