Leo Mugabe said the body will spend Monday night in a village area and was expected to be driven back to Harare on Tuesday.
Mugabe’s final burial arrangements were mired in a dispute between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the family over where and when the former leader should be buried.
Eventually, the family agreed to his final burial at a national monument in Harare in about 30 days, after a new mausoleum is built for him. Mugabe, a former liberation hero whose rule was marked by repression and economic chaos, left Zimbabwe deeply torn over his legacy as the country still struggles with high inflation and shortages of goods after decades of crisis.
