Kuraone Chihwayi of the opposition MDC party said love-in between Grace Mugabe and President Emmerson Mnangagwa proved the hypocrisy of Zimbabwe's rulers.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, Mnangagwa directed government to hire a plane to fly former first lady Grace Mugabe home from Singapore following the passing of her mother in Harare last week. Grace, reportedly unwell herself, had been in the southeast Asian country for treatment while husband Robert, now 95, was also said to be poorly at their Blue Roof private home in the capital.
Chihwayi said, "This shows the kind of people at the helm of the country," he said.
"Zimbabwe is currently in the hands of hypocrites with bad habit of pretending to be good drivers. Mnangagwa is a leopard in the sheep's skin."
For MDC-T spokesman Linda Masarira, Mnangagwa's gesture shows that he has a "forgiving heart".
"After hat the humiliation he (Mnangagwa) went through when he was belittled by the former First Lady last year, it clearly shows that he has a forgiving heart and is committed to build, unity and tolerance in our diversity," Masarira told NewZimbabwe.com.
"No one is perfect at the end of the day. To forgive is divine and, personally, I think ED has reached his Damascene moment.
"In the same light I implore all dissenting voices to find it within themselves to forgive and push for truth, justice and reconciliation.
"Together we can build Zimbabwe with love, unity and tolerance."
Political analyst Maxwell Saungweme added; "He (Mnangagwa) is still keeping to his soft as wool claim after what Grace did to him last year and Mugabe's endorsement of Chamisa.
"It's also a clear sign that politics is politics, and people must not take personality and material-based politics seriously as ordinary voters and supporters die for in political violence.
"The question to many should be - will Mnangagwa do the same for you and me if our mothers pass-on while seeking medical help abroad.
"If the answer is no, then stop supporting politicians who don't focus on issues but materials and individuals."
