It had recently been revealed that Mugabe had been suffering from cancer, with chemotherapy treatment stopped after it had failed to improve the late ex-president's condition.
This had reportedly been the mystery illness that Mugabe had sought treatment for in Singapore earlier this year.
Malema had thrown the weight of the EFF behind Mugabe's legacy, arguing that sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe had been the nation's downfall, not the politician's 37-year-long reign.
In a Red Beret send-off, Malema had hosted a memorial for the 'iconic' leader, thanking him for his legacy in Africa.
