Zimbabweans Expected To Donate 150 Cows For President Mugabe’s Birthday Celebration

A superlative party is planned to celebrate President Mugabe as he turns 93 on February 12.
According to a state owned Herald newspaper, the organisers aim to raise 150 cows to feed guests. Zimbabweans have been called upon to donate and raise the 150 cows needed.

Never Khanye, a Zanu-PF lawmaker said that though the donations are voluntary, large scale farmers in Matabelel and South are expected to donate one cow each to show appreciation to the leader.

“We have set a target to raise 150 cattle for the event. We are appealing to well-wishers to do so willingly and not to come again tomorrow and say we were forced.

“All A2 farmers who got offer letters must donate a beast each for this event and those that will fail we will take it that they don’t appreciate what the president has done for them,” Khanye was quoted as saying.

The party’s youth leader said the President’s birthday should be celebrated like christmas and not like a normal day.

“To us, February 21 is not just a day. To us, it is a special day we treat in the same manner Christians treat December 25, the birthday of Jesus Christ. I don’t want to be blasphemous, but in my humble view, President Mugabe is second to Jesus Christ. He is our saviour, so his birthday means a lot for us the youths of Zimbabwe,” Chipanga was quoted as saying.
