He's still dead tonight...looking good that it is permanent.

Where are they going to bury the bastard?

One suspects that there are quite a few white supremacists who would dearly like to pour a kidney-filtered libation on that grave!

There is a debate about it.
Amazing Grace wants a private do, and bury him on a farm.

ZANU-PF want a big do and plant him in Hero's Acre.

[Capetonian]

If they bury him in a place which is accessible to the general public it will have to be extremely well guarded 24 hours a day and I very much doubt if they will find a team of people who want to take on that task.

on that basis I suppose they have to bury him on private land and his location will remain unknown until it leaks out at which point the problem of security will rear its head again.

It would be good to think that he won't find peace in death. I know that's a nasty thing to say but I'm taking into account the death, poverty ,and misery that he inflicted on millions of people.

With apologies to Lord Byron...

Posterity will n'eer survey
A nobler grave than this.
Here lie the bones of Mugabe,
Stop traveller, and piss.

Used only once before on a Canadian board in a thread extolling the virtues of the departed Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

Why don't they just feed him to the crocodiles? On second thoughts the crocodiles probably would turn up their snouts at something so rotten, and why should they be subjected to that.

Mugabe's body leaves Singapore funeral parlour

A hearse carrying the body of Zimbabwe's ex-president Robert Mugabe leaves a funeral parlour in Singapore bound for an airport from where it will be flown back home for burial.

The body of Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe was flown home from Singapore on Wednesday morning, five days after he died in a hospital in the wealthy city-state. Police motorbikes escorted the white Mercedes hearse carrying Mugabe's body from Singapore Casket, a funeral parlour where he had been kept since his death.

A plane carrying the former leader and the visiting delegation departed shortly afterwards, his nephew Adam Molai told AFP.

"It just left now," he said by phone from the plane as it took off, with the noise of the aircraft audible in the background.

The delegation from Zimbabwe arrived on Tuesday and attended a private Catholic mass for Mugabe at the funeral parlour, which was officiated by a Zimbabwean priest.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's body is being kept. a hero-turned despot whose increasingly tyrannic rule and economic mismanagement prompted millions to leave the country.

Mugabe's body was expected to arrive in Zimbabwe on Wednesday at 3pm (13:00 GMT), a family member told Reuters. From there, it will be taken to his home village in Kutama, west of the capital Harare, where he has been mourned as a hero and where there will be an overnight wake.

Mugabe died on Friday. He was 95.

Saturday funeral

The former guerrilla leader had dominated Zimbabwean politics for almost four decades from independence in 1980 until he was removed by his own army in a November 2017 coup.Revered by many as a liberator who freed his people from white minority rule, Mugabe was vilified by others for ruthlessly crushing his opponents and wrecking one of Africa's most promising economies.On Thursday and Friday, Mugabe's body will lie in state at Rufaro Stadium in the capital so the public can pay their respects.
The 35 000-seater stadium is where Mugabe took his oath of office when Ian Smith, the Prime Minister under the colonial Rhodesian regime, handed over power.

There Mugabe hoisted the new Zimbabwe flag and lit the independence flame on April 18, 1980 - bringing hope for a new era after a long guerrilla war.

The official funeral will be held on Saturday at the 60 000-seat National Sports Stadium in Harare and foreign leaders are expected to attend.

He will be buried on Sunday but the location remains unclear.

Mugabe's family is resisting the government's plan to bury him at the National Heroes Acre monument in the Harare and wants him to be interred in his home village, relatives have told Reuters.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. It's times like this I wish there was a Hell and frying every second of it.

Cape I can duck down to SIN and have the loathsome c**t fed to the crocs at the Singapore Zoo.

[Capetonian]

I understand that the UK is sending a toilet cleaner from the House of Commons to represent the country at Mugape's insertion into the gates of hell today.

Foul evil monster. I hope people go to ***** on his grave.

[Pontius Navigator]

I don't know why they don't let every village have a bit.

[ian16th]

The important funeral in Africa today.

[Undried Plum]

Couldn't they fake a crowd scene with Photoshop the way the Chumpsters did with the photo of the faked crowds in the Mall at Caligula's inauguration?

[OFSO]

Just watching the obsequies on Sky TV. Remarkable. Surprised they didn't send the Burley woman.

[Capetonian]

Or that Crawford woman, she's a real bloody lefty.

[OFSO]

There was a woman among the honour guests looking a lot like Diane Abbott. Not that I watched it, you understand, I'm not a Prevert.

Indeed. Not much of a turn-out and IMHO even that was too many. Two syphilitic lice on a wildebeest's scrotum would have been one too many.

That’s harsh on lice

The tragic impact of Mugabe on Zimbabwe has yet to be fully assessed by economists and historians.

A prosperous and productive nation-state back in the Ian Smith days was transformed into an impoverished basket case, ruled by a ruthless dictator who oversaw the widespread expropriation of private property, the mistreatment and intimidation of his political opposition, and the disappearance of civil rights at his whim. The engine of S. Rhodesia's prosperity was killed off or driven away.

All the while the world-wide left extolled Mugabe's virtues, first by demonizing the Smith regime, which had its faults (but the country was working, and the purported victims enjoyed an existence far superior to what they endure now).

So the comfortable western social justice warriors of the day attained Mugabe's ascendency, enabled largely by US President Jimmy Carter, and got their way. The black population got the franchise it deserved. Once the situation turned South though, and Zimbabwe started to become a nightmare, as it has more recently in Venezuela, those social justice warriors are nowhere to be found, as witnessed by the near empty stadium, having long walked away in search of a new cause to champion, such as climate change, without thinking it through. But the damage done in their wake has shown to linger long after they are gone.

Ain't democracy a bitch!

Having seen what can happen when democracy breaks out in a country, you can understand why fascist America has always shunned it.

Actually, America has championed democracy its entire existence. You should know that. And 'fascist'??. Gimme a break, chap.
