It is not clear when Mugabe, who led Zimbabwe for four decades before he was ousted in a coup in 2017, will be buried, amid a high-profile row between the new government and his family.

It was reported on Friday that the family wanted Mugabe to be buried at a national shrine, while the new government - headed President Emmerson Mnangagwa - wants him interred in his home village.

Mugabe’s body arrived in Zimbabwe from Singapore on Wednesday and started three days of lying in state on Thursday.
