Staff Reporter | About a hundred young children between the ages of 6 and 11 who took part in providing entertainment to President Robert Mugabe at his birthday celebrations in Matopo on Saturday, spent a cold raining whole night hungry and with no blankets.
ZimEye.com correspondents who were at the hotel where most of the ZANU PF bigwigs were accommodated for the President’s birthday report that the children who were meant to have travelled to Harare on the night of the birthday, were left stranded for the night. Buses meant to ferry them could not get fueled on time because the ZANU PF bosses with the fuel money had disappeared before anything could be done.
A hotel official who insisted on not being identified confirmed that the hotel had to whisk the cold children from the reception area late into the night on Saturday at the request of the teachers who were accompanying them to at least sleep in the boardroom.
The other junior hotel staff however refuted the report that the kids slept in the boardroom without blankets claiming that the hotel out of courtesy did its best to make sure that the young team were made comfortable “under very difficult conditions.”
The hotel which was fully booked from Thursday night was besieged by hundreds of birthday guests in buses and trucks following the ZANU PF leaders for fuel and food money with most of them spending Saturday night in buses outside the hotel.
In one incident some people travelling in a mini bus from Ruwa are said to have agreed among themselves to contribute fuel money and fill up the bus to find their way back home as the bus crew was stranded with no fuel.
ZANU PF officials and organisers of the birthday celebrations refused to speak to the media on the chaos.
I FEEL EVERY OUNCE of sympathy for the kids, not their fault. Not all are ZANU PF supporters children if any, if the teachers are told to send the children and they themselves can’t say no, what chance do the little children stand? Venge vachaitisa vana nyumonya (pneumonia) vapindwa nechando. Vakuru, yep they got what they bargained for. Kuri kuda kudya here kana kufadza ZANU? How many years has this been going on? Bussed in for the ZANU events and no food and no return journey. Inenge yave indoda iyazibonela! Wake up, ivo they are having the after party in the hotel and you’re left at the mercy of robbers never to be visited in hospitals if you’re hurt! SHAME ON YOU ZANU WORSHIPPERS.
Don’t feel sorry for these kids. They got what they deserve. Their parents are the most loyal to ZANUPF. They feed on the crumbs from the dictator’s table. They should accept the good and the bad that comes with being a cheerleader for the devil
This is not news please, those who still believe and trust this demonic Zanupf in this day and age only need look themselves in the mirror and blame no one. Honestly, after butchering 20 000 innocent souls in all gruesome manner imaginable, probably your parents, brothers, sisters and others what do really expect ? OMG…..people will never learn and all those irresponsible parents must be very ashamed for allowing innocents children to attend the Satanic birthday party in the first place. Shame on you….nxaa !
