Mugabe "special occasion" birthday to cost million $ - when 2.2 million Zimbabweans are starving!

Mugabe will be celebrating his 90’s birth day in grant style with a 89 kg cake and the whole bash has a price tag of one million dollars.
 

Absalom Sikhosana, secretary for youth affairs in Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, told reporters recently: "This is a very special celebration. Turning 90 is no mean feat. You cannot turn 90 years when you are a womaniser, a drunkard or a chain smoker. We will be celebrating the life of a very special person on a very special occasion."



Mugabe is back in Singapore for what George Charamba said was a cataract operation.  In the past each of his trips to Singapore has costed the nation a staggering US$ 3 million and sometimes he made as many as eight trips in one year. So the nation has been spending as much as US$ 24 million a year on the health bill of one person. In a country whose health delivery system has all but collapsed after years of chronic under funding.



Would be mothers are delivering their babies under the most primitive conditions; five women die every day in child birth, one of the worst in the world.



100 children below the age of five are dying every day from preventable diseases.



Mugabe could have got quality cataract surgery in Zimbabwe and with additional investment, the cost of just one overseas trip, as good a service as he got in Singapore.



It is nonsense that an impoverished nation like Zimbabwe should be splashing millions of dollars on the luxury health needs of one person whilst neglecting the most basic needs of millions. It is criminal! Mugabe’s indifference to the suffering of ordinary Zimbabweans is an insult to the whole nation’s conscience. Splashing million dollars on a birthday party when 2.2 million are starving; what kind of people would allow such madness!
