The new Zimbabwean government has officially declared former President Robert Mugabe’s birthday, February 21, a public holiday.

Mr. Robert Mugabe resigned last week after military and public pressure, ending his 37 year stay in power.

Calls for Mr. Mugabe's birthday to be made a national holiday came after the government adopted the decision in August following intense lobbying by the ruling Zanu-PF Youth League.

The party youths pushed for the birthday to be declared a holiday in recognition of Mugabe’s efforts in empowering the youths.
