The curtain came down on the 21st February Movement gala held over the weekend with entertainment-starved music lovers getting more than they bargained for. The gala, held in honour of President Mugabe who turned 88 last month, was more than just a music festival as it brought together people from all walks of life not only from Chipinge but from as far afield as Chimoio in Mozambique and surrounding areas.
