Mugabe birthday to be a holiday

Zimbabwe has made Robert Mugabe’s birthday a public holiday nearly a week after he quit as president.

“It is hereby declared that February 21 of every year henceforth shall be a public holiday to be known as the Robert Mugabe National Youth Day,” The Herald newspaper reported, citing a government gazette. The 93-year-old was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, the former vice president.
