Mugabe & Mnangagwa T-Shirts Cause Chaos At Mugabe Funeral
Mourners who had gathered at Murombedzi Growth Point to pay their last respect to Zimbabwe’s founding leader, Robert Mugabe reportedly clashed over Mugabe and Mnangagwa branded t-shirts.
News Day, a local publication, reports that Mugabe sympathisers who had come wearing t-shirts branded with Mugabe’s pictures were overshadowed by those wearing t-shirts branded with Mnangagwa’s pictures.
The chaos is said to have intensified after Mugabe t-shirts were barred.
As a way to resolve the deadlock, Zanu PF central committee member, Shiella Mabasa popularly known as Yondo Sister addressed members of the public explaining why Mnangagwa’s t-shirts were at Mugabe’s funeral. Mabasa said:
This party regalia was left over during the campaign period and we felt it was important to give our members as we mourn a departed hero of Zanu PF and Zimbabwe, it has nothing to do with politics.
