Grace Mugabe challenges fine of five cows and two goats for improper burial of her husband
The widow of former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has challenged a fine of five cows and two goats over the alleged improper burial of her husband. Grace Mugabe is also seeking to overturn an order, issued in May, to dig up her husband’s body and rebury it at a national heroes’ shrine in the capital Harare. Chief Zvimba issued a ruling in May that found the late leader’s wife guilty of breaking local custom with the burial. He fined her five cows and two goats during a hearing held in her absence and ordered the exhumation of Mugabe’s body.
