PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has pledged to donate 300 cattle from his vast family herd to the African Union Foundation but that depends on his wife - Grace giving it a go ahead.
Mugabe is in South Africa attending the 25th African Union Summit underway in Sandton.
"Sorry, I did not come with my wife. She went to see our daughter...When she comes, I will persuade her that from the lots of cattle we have, we can contribute some 300 so that they can be sold as our own contribution to start pledges in our country," he is quoted by the Herald saying.
The African Union Foundation is a brainchild of African Heads of State and Government.
The foundation seeks the development of skills and human resources on the continent, women empowerment and gender equality and to promote integration and management of diversity, youth development and entrepreneurship, advocacy and support for the African Union.
