The President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, on Tuesday, donated 54 bicycles to village heads in Zvishavane as a Christmas gift.
Also, the county’s First Lady, Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa, donated Christmas hampers to the wives of Village Heads present at the event.
This was made known by the Zimbabwean Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting on its official X handle on Tuesday.
The post read, “Today, His Excellency President Mnangagwa #edmnangagwa donated 54 bicycles to Chief Mapanzure, at Lundi Primary School in Zvishavane.
“The bicycles will be distributed to village heads.”
Some Zimbabweans, however, react to the news by saying that it is an embarrassment to the country.
An X user known as SinatraGunda, wrote, “Remove this, it’s embarrassing. 54 bicycles and the cost of sending your Entourage there. Do you guys even do a cost-benefit analysis?”

Another user identified as SimonTshuma1, wrote, “In this age still distributing bicycles. Am sure the President can afford ma Honda Fit for every Village in the country.”
