Grace Mugabe has appealed against a chief’s ruling that she violated traditional norms by laying to rest former President Robert Mugabe in Z...
VOA repprts that Mrs. Mugabe’s attorney, Fungai
Chimwamurombe, has asked Chinhoyi courts to make a judicial review of Chief
Zvimba’s ruling, compelling her to exhume her husband’s remains and rebury them
at the National
Heroes Acre in Harare.
The basis of the appeal, as cited by Chimwamurombe, is that
there was "absence of jurisdiction, impropriety of relief granted,
irregular service of summons and the judgement was biased.”
The chief fined Mrs. Mugabe five cattle and a goat. The Mugabe
family rejected the village court order with the late president’s nephew, Leo
Mugabe, saying they will fight the case to the bitter end.
