Zimbabwe chief orders Mugabe remains to be exhumed for reburial at heroes’ shrine

Fresh row brews over final resting place of late president after ruling by traditional chief

The family of Robert Mugabe have been ordered to exhume the remains of the late dictator for reburial at a monument to Zimbabwe's national heroes, in a move likely to rekindle a row over the memory of one of Africa's foremost revolutionary leaders.

A traditional chief made the order after accusing Mugabe's second wife, Grace, of breaking local custom by interring him at his rural home.
