Mugabe Donates 300 Cows To African Union

 

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has donated 300 cattle to the African Union to help it become "less dependent on outside donors."

The cattle were handed over to AU deputy chairperson Erastus Mwencha at a ceremony in Mugabe's office, though the herd is being kept near a small town northwest of Harare.

Said Kindness Paradza, who heads the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs of Zimbabwe:

"The president has donated 300 cattle to the AU Foundation following a pledge he made last year when he was the AU chair,"

"We are looking after the cattle at a farm in Karoi and the AU can decide what they want to do with them."
