Robert Mugabe relishes elephant meat on his 91st birthday

#RobertMugabe #Zimbabwe #TendaiMusasa #VictoriaFalls President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe celebrated his 91st birthday in a luxury hotel in the Victoria Falls resort by releasing 91 balloons and gorging himself on elephant meat as reported in news.sky.com dated 28 February 2015.
As per reports, thousands of people have flocked to the lavish birthday party and two young elephants had been slaughtered for the feast which was held on the hotel golf course, with white marquees housing guests.
The first elephant, it seems, was shot, cut up and passed to the organizers of the party while the second was reportedly to be given to members of the community.
The animals had been donated by game farmer Tendai Musasa – apart from the pair of elephants, he had also given a lion and a crocodile to be stuffed, and a herd of impala. Moreover, two members of the president's government offered 40 cows for slaughter for the bash.
President Mugabe has been in office for 27-years and, in the course of a 90-minute speech to his guests, he lambasted the US, which has imposed sanctions on him and Zimbabwe by saying that they cannot have it both ways. If they wanted friendship then they must be friends in totality.
Mugabe is the longest-serving leader of Africa and he is respect by many on the continent after he led Zimbabwe to independence. But, he is subject to travel bans in the European Union and also in the United States.
