President Mugabe’s traditional birthday eve interview will be screened on ZBC TV tonight.

The interview was shelved until after the main celebrations that were held in Masvingo over the weekend due to the President’s pressing schedule last week.

ZBC TV confirmed during last night’s News Hour edition that the interview will be screened tonight.

A fortnight ago, the Presidential spokesperson announced the rescheduling of the interview.

“Owing to the President’s congested programme, the high profile visits as well as preparations towards the 92nd birthday anniversary celebrations in Masvingo, President Mugabe has not been able to find time to do the traditional interview which comes on the eve of his actual birthday.

“He has agreed to have the interview soon after the commemorations.

“The interview will come after Masvingo and will allow the President to reflect on his life and contemporary developments.”

During the traditional interviews, President Mugabe usually speaks about his personal life, domestic and international politics and developmental issues.
