Confusion set in Robert Mugabe’s family about unaware of funeral plans

His body is being prepared to lie in state at a football stadium in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare.
His family and the government disagree over Mr Mugabe’s final resting place.
Mr Mugabe’s family says his body will be displayed in his home village of Kutama on Sunday night and will be buried at a private ceremony.
“His body will lie in state at Kutama on Sunday night… followed by a private burial – either Monday or Tuesday – no National Heroes’ Acre [the national monument for liberation heroes]. That’s the decision of the whole family,” his nephew Leo Mugabe told the AFP news agency.
