Robert Mugabe turns 93 today – and Zimbabwe’s newspapers are all shouting their congratulations to the president, with two special pullout supplements in the state-run Herald:
Even private papers, known to voice opposition to the government, are running ads from companies eager to pass on their felicitations:
Some of the many ads published today:
* Choppies, owned by VP Mphoko
* Parastatals
* NetOne: “OneFusion of the Pan-African Spirit” #Bob93 pic.twitter.com/YbQpZke21r— Zim Media Review (@ZimMediaReview) February 21, 2017
And the Twitter account that reviews Zimbabwe’s papers noticed that the president’s own dairy business has placed an advert “honouring the icon of the nation”.
Mugabe’s own company, Alpha Omega, takes a full page ad to wish him a Happy Birthday #Mugabe93 pic.twitter.com/Aaf9rH87YF— Zim Media Review (@ZimMediaReview) February 21, 2017
