First Lady Grace Mugabe on Wednesday waded into former Vice President Joice Mujuru again saying her husband's former deputy will not be buried at the national shrine if she dies.

Addressing thousands of Zanu-PF supporters in Rushinga district, Mashonaland Central province, in Mrs. Mujuru's backyard, the first lady said the former vice president will not be buried at the National Heroes' Acre for allegedly betraying her husband, President Robert Mugabe.

Speaking in vernacular, Mrs. Mugabe said Mrs. Mujuru, who was expelled from both the ruling party and government for allegedly plotting to assassinate Mr. Mugabe, was feeling cold outside Zanu-PF.

Studio 7 failed to get a comment from Mrs. Mujuru whose mobile phone was not being answered.

The first lady said Zanu-PF was now in campaign mood ahead of the 2018 elections declaring Mashonaland Central a no-go area for the opposition.
