Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe
today celebrated his 91st birthday with a lavish bash that was attended by
thousands of his party's faithfuls.
Mugabe's party held at a luxury
hotel in the famed Victoria Falls resort. Elephants were reportedly slaughtered
for the feast, which held on the hotel’s golf course. Seven huge birthday cakes
were on display and at a point during the party, assisted by his wife Grace,
the Zimbabwean leader, who was surrounded by family members, threw 91 balloons
into the air.
Critics lampooned the scale of the
festivities, calling them “obscene” in a country where millions live in
poverty. Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in
1980, is the world’s oldest leader.
