By A Correspondent- Several ministers and guests gathered in Harare on Saturday to celebrate the 60th birthday of information minister Monica Mutsvangwa with no mask in sight.

Zimbabweans reacted with anger after pictures emerged showing ministers Mutsvangwa, Joel Biggie Matiza, Ziyambi Ziyambi and Kazembe Kazembe at the birthday celebrations which went on late into the night.

The pictures were shared on social media by government spokesman Ndavaningi Mangwana.

Former information minister Jonathan Moyo blasted Mangwana for having “no qualms about parading this Covid-19 superspreader birthday party.”

Last week, police issued a statement reminding Zimbabweans that “weddings, birthdays, house parties, political and other social gatherings which include musical concerts are still banned.
