The ruling party of Zimbabwe is reportedly looking to spend some $2.5 million on President Robert Mugabe’s 93rd birthday celebration on February 21, a media report said on Wednesday.
“Each of the ten provinces is expected to [participate in raising the] $2.5 million for the ceremony.
“They expect to raise it through provincial structures, individuals, private companies, parastatals and local authorities,” Zanu PF party officials said.
However, opposition parties have attacked Mugabe for wasting money on extravagant revelry while “93% of Zimbabweans are wallowing in poverty caused by his incompetence and misrule”, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
