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.
