The chants reportedly started while family members and friends were still grieving, shocking many who felt the moment was deeply inappropriate.
Witnesses say the crowd quickly reacted, demanding that politics be kept out of the funeral. Tempers flared, and the official was forced to leave the ceremony after mourners accused him of disrespecting the family and turning a solemn farewell into a political event. The incident has since sparked heated debate online, with many Zimbabweans calling for dignity and respect at funerals, regardless of political affiliation.
