In an interview with The Herald soon after the 21st February Movement celebrations, Zanu PF Secretary for Youth Affairs, Kudzanai Chipanga attributed the success of the birthday celebrations to President Mugabe, whom he said was divinely anointed.

Said Chipanga:

In recent days it has been raining, even during the night. But just because the President descended on this place, the rains stopped and we had some sunshine. As you can see that the President is done with his speeches and we are through with the programme, we are about to receive some rains again. So to us it means President Mugabe is not an ordinary person. President Mugabe has got some divine anointing from the Lord Almighty. As we always say, President Mugabe is unlike any other leader in the world, President Mugabe is God-given and it can even be witnessed by the weather.
