President Robert Mugabe is set to butcher giant elephants at his birthday celebrations.
Mugabe who turns 91 this week, is set to slaughter Zimbabwe’s endangered species at celebrations held by his party ZANU PF.
A report by the Chronicle said a prominent farmer, Tendai Musasa had pledged to donate two elephants, two buffalos, two sables, five impalas and a lion worth a combined $120 000 towards the president’s birthday bash that will be held on 28 February.
According to The Guardian the conservationists have branded the plans as unethical.
Musasa said this was his way of supporting the function and to ensure a celebratory mood.
He said the donation was “a perfect gesture”, adding that the animals would be slaughtered a few days ahead of the big day with the meat being stored by a local hotel.
“This is totally unethical”
But the chairperson of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force Johnny Rodrigues said he was not in favour of anyone donating wild animals for a celebration or any other reason.
“They have been doing this for years now. Every time there is a celebration…, several elephants and buffalo are killed for the celebrations. This is totally unethical and should not be allowed,” Rodrigues was quoted as saying.
Mugabe’s government is already under fire for a plan to ship at least 62 baby elephants to China, the United Arab Emirates and France.
The country’s tourism minister last month said the southern African country was overpopulated with African jumbos, adding that Zimbabwe needed to urgently reduce the animals’ population.
According to Huffington Post, at least 20 000 people are expected to attend the lavish celebrations just outside Victoria Falls. News24.com/Additional Reporting

  2. Why do you display your woeful ignorance in public like that??!!…”there are not too many elephants in Zim”?? You could have saved yourself embarrassment by first checking with CAMPFIRE or the environment ministry before spewing such falsehoods!!

  4. when you begin to own wild animals one must certainly know that something is very wrong or has gone very wrong. Musasa God will deal with you. Let the animals be.there are not that many elephants in Zimbabwe. Most have been shipped to China. We shall wake up from our slumber a bit too late to save our wild life. Mugabe no longer has teeth so mubikireika mavegetables murege kuuraya mhuka. Problem yedictatorship s that you then begin to think you are God and with sycophants like Musasa certainly mugabe thinks he is a god. how sad!!!

  6. If the “imperial masters” had been British or American everything would have been kosher, hey??!!…just like Obama preaches human rights but has no problems whatsoever in being friends with Saudi Arabia where women are forbidden to drive!!

  8. This story desperately tries to emotionally whip anti-Gushaz sentiments but is woefully short on credibility and truth!! For starters, elephants are NOT endangered in Zim!! If a simple, basic check had been done with CAMPFIRE or the environment ministry, it would have easily revealed that currently the number of elephants in Zim seriously exceeds the carrying capacity of the habitat. The elephant population has nothing to do with CITES but with the fact that Bob is passionately hated by the “pinky” do-gooders who have exterminated their own wildlife in their own countries but in their false sentimentality prioritise animals ahead of human beings!! To hell with Rodrigues!!

  10. Hope you and your new Chinese imperial masters choke as you devour our African wildlife that you have voted to conserve, but still see fit to slaughter and eat for your own engrandisement and your “manly” sexual prowess and the size of your organs
