A Zimbabwean court has upheld a ruling that the body of former president Robert Mugabe should be exhumed and reburied at a national shrine in the capital.

The Chinhoyi Magistrates’ Court rejected an appeal by Mugabe’s children that the traditional court’s ruling should be ignored, Mugabe family lawyer Fungai Chimwamurombe said.
