The Herald: "PRESIDENT Mugabe arrived at Zimbabwe Grounds yesterday to a roaring welcome from hundreds of thousands of war veterans and Zanu-PF supporters of all ages and from all walks of life in scenes reminiscent of the vibrant welcome he received upon his triumphant homecoming from Mozambique at the dawn of Zimbabwe’s independence in January 1980. The crowd was part of the hordes that had marched the 10km distance from the Harare Exhibition Park to Zimbabwe Grounds as part of the Million-Man March organised by the Zimbabwe National War Veterans’ Association to express solidarity with the President ahead of next year’s historic harmonised elections. Though no official figures were available at the time of going to press, the crowd at Zimbabwe Grounds was the biggest gathering seen in post-independent Zimbabwe."
