Funds are being raised by Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu-PF party for the 93rd birthday celebrations of the country’s president, Robert Mugabe. The said birthday celebration is planned for later this month.

According to local media, the Zanu-PF is appealing to citizens to donate cattle to feed those who will attend the birthday celebrations.

Organizers of the birthday party are hoping to raise 150 head of cattle. According to the Herald newspaper, a committee member for President Mugabe’s birthday celebration Never Khanye said “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.”

“We are appealing to well-wishers to do so willingly and not to come again tomorrow and say we were forced, Khanye added.

The organizers of the event said farmers who were asked to donate must give one cattle but signaled that those who fail to donate “don’t appreciate what the president has done for them.”

100,000 people are expected to attend the celebrations to be held in Matobos, outside the country’s second largest city of Bulawayo.

President Mugabe has been the leader of Zimbabwe since 1980 as president. He was born on February 21, 1924.
