Several leading entertainers will perform at President Robert Mugabe’s birthday bash set for the City Sports Centre tonight.
The mouth-watering list of entertainers on the bill includes the
rejuvenated Leonard Zhakata, Suluman Chimbetu, Jah Prayzah, Mathias
Mhere, Alick Macheso, Tryson Chimbetu, Somandla Ndebele, Tocky Vibes and
many others.
As has become the norm, the 21st
February Movement has organised a birthday bash for him in Victoria
Falls on February 28.
Turning 91 on February 21, Mugabe’s belated birthday bash will be held
at the four-star Elephant Hills Intercontinental Hotel in the Vic Falls
resort on February 29.
Held under the theme “Celebrating the birth of
Gushungo, the icon of Zimbabwe’s revolution and champion of youth
empowerment”, guests will be treated to three-course meals, and a music
gala featuring top Zimbabwean artists. Prior to the event, a “Miss 21st
Movement” beauty pageant and a football tournament dubbed the “Bob 91
Super Cup” will be staged.

Zimbabwe's grinding economic crisis has done
nothing to alter the ruling Zanu PF party’s ambitions to mark its
leader’s 91st birthday with unrestrained feasting in the resort town of
Victoria Falls.
School children and Zanu PF youth brigades from the 10 political
provinces will hold parades to mark the occasion. As in previous years,
it is planned as a military-style operation dubbed the 21st February
Movement.
More than 100 children selected from the country’s 10 provinces, who
share a birthday with President Robert Mugabe, will be flown to Victoria
Falls to attend his 91st birthday celebrations scheduled for next week,
where elephant and other game meat is on the menu.
President Mugabe is well known for his uncompromising stance towards the West
and the colonising powers he blames for many of Africa’s ills. Taking up
the one-year rotating AU chairmanship last week, Mugabe said he cared
little for what the West might say.
