The family of the late Zanu-PF founder Enos Nkala yesterday said it was making alternative burial arrangements while awaiting the government's decision on his hero status.
Nkala died on Wednesday at Avenues Clinic in Harare after succumbing to a kidney condition and heart attack at the age of 81.
Family spokesperson Herbert Nkala said the family was not expecting to get a final decision yesterday as the nation seized with President Mugabe's inauguration at the National Sports Stadium.
The Zanu-PF Politburo will meet today to discuss the hero status of veteran nationalist Enos Nkala and freedom fighter Retired Air Commodore Mike Karakadzai who died in separate incidents this week.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo said yesterday that the Politburo would be seized with the matter at the meeting starting this morning.
