Political commentator Rejoice Ngwenya has challenged the ruling Zanu PF to scrape President Robert Mugabe's celebrations as it is a waste of money and time.
"I suggest that the Government of Zimbabwe defer ALL official commemorations this year (Independence Day, Africa Unity Day, Heroes Day) and also downgrade ALL state burials to ordinary burials," he said. "I also insist that Zanu PF discard its plans to 'celebrate' Mr. Mugabe's lavish 92nd birthday in favour of a simple family event. All political rallies by all parties, annual conferences and congresses must be suspended. Our country needs to raise at least one billion dollars in food relief, so we cannot be wasting money at the same time expecting donations from international donors."
