By Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo|Scores of villagers were stranded for hours at Great Zimbabwe after failing to secure transport to travel back home after President Robert Mugabe’s lavish birthday bash on Saturday.
After being ferried by haulage trucks and buses to the monuments it was not rosy for the Mugabe loyalists-mainly from Hwendedzo and Zishumbe areas respectively-who had to walk for 30 km back home after being stranded for hours at the monuments.
The two areas are now occupied by mainly Zanu PF supporters since 2000 -following the controversial land grab exercise. The villagers had to endure several hours until they decided to walk back home around midnight. Despite the chilling weather and drizzle, the villagers still managed to walk back to their respective homes.
Tererai Chaduka a resettled farmer from Zishumbe area said he could not manage to link up with the truck driver who ferried him and his family to the venue.
“There was confusion on the night so we could not link up with the truck driver. We tried to raise the issue with the provincial leaders but they were nowhere to be found. Everyone was busy so we braved the drizzle and walked back home. Of course we were given food but no one cared about the transport logistics,” said Chaduka.
Mbuya Mare an elderly woman from Hwendedzo area in Masvingo District village B also walked back home after being stranded at the venue.
ZimEye understands scores of several other people went back home in frustration after being left stranded at Great Zimbabwe into the night.
Analysts say Mugabe’s birthday bash chewed up close to one million dollars -yet the ruling party failed to reflect courtesy after dumping its loyal supporters at the venue.
Surprisingly some of the villagers told ZimEye.com they would continue to support Mugabe despite the humiliation.

Walking 30 km is a small price to pay for a plate of Sadza nenyama a drink and a small piece of cake. These are people who might not remember the last time they had a decent meal. Regai zvakadaro.

These Zanoid supporters will never learn. Buses are organised to swell the attendance. The bus operators are paid to ferry passengers from A to B but not C. This has happened on all occasions but these simpletons still troop to these rallies and Ngwazi’s birthday celebrations to get some sadza and game meat. No wonder ZanuPF is still in power.
