Prominance Sinomusa Khumalo
Bulawayo \u2013 The 4th Edition of the All Councillors’ Indaba 2025 at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) took a celebratory turn today when Deputy Minister of Local Government, Hon. Mavhunga, revealed during his vote of thanks that it was his 40th birthday \u2013 and received a special surprise from President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Heartwarming Father-Son Moment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a lighthearted and emotional address, Deputy Minister Mavhunga shared a personal story with the over 2,000 councillors in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My father is a councillor, and many people didn\u2019t know,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When we are here, I am his boss, but when we go home, he becomes the boss. The reason I\u2019m sharing this is that 40 years ago today, I was born.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He jokingly added,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am going to tell my grandchildren that in 2025, on this day, His Excellency President Mnangagwa attended my birthday party and ordered over 2,000 councillors to buy me a cake!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Mnangagwa\u2019s Generous Gesture<\/p>\n\n\n\n
True to his reputation of rewarding his team, President Mnangagwa called the deputy minister forward and handed him a wad of several US$100 bills as a birthday gift. The gesture was met with cheers, and the delegates broke into a spontaneous birthday song to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tradition of Recognition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has become customary for President Mnangagwa to present his aides and supporters with US$100 bills during public events, and today, it was Deputy Minister Mavhunga\u2019s turn to be honored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
