Zimbabwe’s
former president Robert Mugabe celebrated his 94th birthday on Saturday
with a private black-tie party hosted by his family, three months after
he was ousted from power.
Mugabe’s
birthday was previously a major public event in Zimbabwe, marked by an
outpouring of fawning congratulations and tributes in official media
from regime loyalists, government ministries and agencies.
His
actual birthday on Wednesday was declared an annual public holiday for
the first time this year, but the occasion was greeted without fanfare.
The party
was at “Blue Roof” — the lavish private residence where Mugabe and his
wife Grace, 52, have been living in apparent seclusion since he was
forced to resign after a military intervention.
