Before his death, Mugabe is said to have said that he would not want to be buried at the National Heroes Acre merely because he did not want President Emmerson Mnangagwa presiding over his funeral.

Mugabe is said to have died bitter over the way he was toppled from power in 2017 by Mnangagwa his long-time apprentice with the aid of the military.
