Zanu PF is in a fix over the burial place for the late vocal Cephas Msipa.
Zanu PF declared Msipa a national hero suggesting he would be buried at the National Hero's Arce in Harare.
However, Msipa's family has indicated that he would be buried in Gweru on Saturday.
His son Douglas said Msipa (85) who died on Monday had long indicated that he wished to be buried close to his wife, reports show.
"It is very true he expressed wishes to be buried in Gweru where our mother is buried and according to what he wished for, we will respect his wishes,".
His wife Charlotte, died in 2013 and buried at Midlands Provincial Heroes Acre.
Announcing Zanu PF decision Monday evening, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa never mentioned the burial date and place.
He only said Msipa is a national hero.
