Government has dismissed circulating messages to the effect that a seven day public holiday has been declared to mourn the late national hero Robert Mugabe who passed on yesterday morning in Singapore.

In a statement on Twitter, government said;

SCHOOLS OPENING DAY
Schools are due to open on Tuesday 10 September 2019. There has been no change to that plan. Please ignore any messages to the contrary. Boarders are expected to travel to their respective schools on Monday 9 September 2019. Thank You
