His body was initially expected to return on Thursday, but the official, who did not want to be identified, said:
"I can confirm that it is now Saturday."
No reasons were given for the postponement.
Supporters will be able to view his body in Blantyre, the capital Lilongwe and the northern town of Mzuzu.
The burial will take place on April 23 in Thyolo district outside Blantyre.
