Zimbabwe’s former President Robert Mugabe will be buried in the National Heroes Acre monument in Harare, his family says, following a row with the government over his final resting site.
Family spokesman and nephew Leo Mugabe says the date is yet to be determined.
His body is now lying in state at the Rufaro football stadium in the capital.

Before Sunday’s ceremonies, a state funeral will be held on Saturday. Heads of states of several countries are expected.
Before that there will be a public ceremony at the shrine in the capital on Sunday, followed by a ceremony at Mugabe’s home village.
Mugabe, who was 95, died last week while being treated in Singapore.
Mugabe’s family is said to be bitter over him being ousted by his former ally and current President Emmerson Mnangagwa two years ago.
