Warren Hills cemetery in Harare has been closed for public burials with the remaining 7,2 hectares reserved for Zanu PF provincial heroes.
Harare's education, health, housing and community services committee confirmed the latest developments to a local publication, which were approved during a special council meeting yesterday.
It said Warren Hills will now only be reserved for the provincial heroes, a situation likely to create a crisis of burial space in the city.
The move is likely to draw the ire of residents and opposition political parties who feel it was an extension of Zanu PF influence on burial space, as the party has also declared the National Heroes Acre was a Zanu PF "hill".
