ZANU PF has announced that Sabina Mugabe has died after a long illness. She was 76.
ZANU PF spokesman, Rugare Gumbo, said Sabina would be buried at Heroes Acre after the politburo were ‘unanimous in granting her that honour.’
The Associated Press news agency said her death would be a severe blow to Robert Mugabe, as he is a man known to have few friends and she was a most trusted family confidante and associate.
Sabina retired from politics in 2008 after respresenting Zvimba in Parliament for many years. She is the mother of former ZIFA president Leo Mugabe and former MP Patrick Zhuwawo.
