Schools to bankroll Mugabe bash

THE Zanu PF government has allegedly ordered all civil servants and schools throughout the country to make cash and kind donations towards President Robert Mugabe’s 93rd birthday party to be held in Matobo, Matabeleland South province, on Saturday.

According to a leaked memo, dated January 2, 2017 and addressed to school heads in Manicaland province, each civil servant is expected to fork out $1, school development committees (SDCs) $10, secondary schools $15 and boarding schools $100.

The memo was written by a public service district inspector for Nyanga.
