Mugabe birthday guests to dine on buff, elephant and sable

If you’re one of the world’s most despised despots, it seems appropriately evil to serve up a protected species of animal as a dish at your birthday party.

Partygoers at the 91st birthday party of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe are set to dine on elephant, after a farmer donated the unusual delicacy to the lavish bash.

Tendai Musasa confirmed to the Zimbabwe Chronicle that he has donated game meat and a lion trophy worth £78,000 to the event.

Musasa provided a total of two buffaloes, two elephants, a lion, five impalas and two sables.

Describing preparations for the event, he added that the animals would be slaughtered a few days before the birthday bash, and stored by a local hotel.

He also dismissed complaints from local farmers that the donation would affect their income, labelling them ‘enemies’ of the president.

Speaking to the Guardian, a spokesman for the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force said: ‘I am not in favour of anyone donating wild animals for a celebration or for any other reason.

‘They have been doing this for years now. Every time there is a celebration or on Independence Day, several elephants and buffalo are killed for the celebrations.

‘This is totally unethical and should not be allowed.’

Mugabe is renowned for hosting typically lavish birthday parties, despite his country’s extreme poverty.

I'll try not to make a comment on that O**


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
