President Emmerson Mnangagwa and a military delegation have received the body at the city's international airport. Former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's body will lie in state on Thursday and Friday. The public will be able to pay their respects and view the body at the Rufaro Stadium in Harare. Mugabe died on Friday aged 95 in Singapore, where he had long received medical treatment. He had dominated Zimbabwean politics for almost four decades from independence in 1980 until he was removed by his own army in a November 2017 coup.
