The type of women that make me soo proud to be a woman, the kind I would like to see influence my daughters, the type that are powerful in their own right outside of a man, ladies and gentlemen, this is the type our daughters should look at and be motivated by, including on these social media streets. I have a deep personal connection with this woman just from knowing her from afar, but I revere and respect her journey. One day by God’s grace i will share what it is. Here is just a brief about her journey.

Born in 1976 in Matabeleland South, she carved her own path through determination and education. She joined the Zimbabwe National Army in 1996 and rose to the rank of Colonel, earning respect in a male-dominated field.

Behind the headlines, her story is one of ambition, discipline, and resilience – a reminder that public life often comes with both its glamour and its heavy burdens.
