EXHUMATION OF PRESIDENT MUGABE'S REMAINS TAKES NEW TWIST AS COURT BLOCKS HIS GRAVE'S INSPECTION.(PHOTO).

 NO RESTING IN PEACE: Exhumation of President Mugabe's remains takes new twist as court blocks his grave's inspection The ongoing saga surrounding the exhumation of former President Robert Mugabe’s remains took a dramatic turn last week at the Chinyoyi magistrate court. Village headman Tinos Manongovere’s request for an inspection of the late president’s grave at his Zvimba homestead was blocked, creating further uncertainty in this already complex case. The confusion stemmed from Manongovere’s application for an “inspection in loco,” a legal process allowing the court to physically examine a location relevant to a case. His lawyers, Madzingiria and Nhokwara, clearly stated their intention in a letter to the Chinhoyi clerk of court dated November 19th. “We write to advise that we have been instructed to make an application for inspection in loco of the burial place of the late former president of the Republic of Zimbabwe, His Excellency Robert Gabriel Mugabe at Kutama Village,”...

She said, “They age-shame me every single day. They say, a woman of you age, how can you be wearing a bikini? I can because I have a body. “Beyoncé is in her 40s and wears bikinis but Americans don’t age shame her. They would be like, for her age, black don’t crack. It’s more celebrated when you look good in your older age. “But they [Nigerians], always throw these things like, when her son grows up, he...
