Still diverting from my usual commentary on the relationship between female and male politicians, I would like to comment on the achievements of female politicians. this comes in light of the celebrations of the international women's day and I thought I could throw in more examples of the great women in the world of politics. to begin with is Auxilia Mnangagwa.She is a very persistent woman, a quality that worked well in her favor considering that she was trading on treacherous ground. her political path has been marred by obstacle after obstacle, but she did not quit. instead she soldiered on. her hard work and perseverance paid come 2015 March 27 when she won the parliamentary elections to represent Chirumanzi-Zibagwe Constituency. Auxilia has been very instrumental in several philanthropic projects. she joins the pool of several female politicians world wide who help those that are less fortunate in their bid to make the world a better place.
Auxilia established women banks in the constituency that she is representing, a bid to make life for rural women a little better so they will not have to depend on the spouses all the time. This is in line with economic development, you develop a woman you develop a nation. not only that, she is instrumental in economic issues, advocating for the relaxation of certain laws so that Zimbabwe attract direct foreign investment.
Another female politician that I feel deserves for all her work and should be celebrated this woman's month is Sekai Holland who was the co minister of state for National healing, integration and reconciliation during the government of national unit in Zimbabwe. Among the things that she is known for, is her pivotal role in Zimbabwe's struggle with racism and instability. She has had her own fair share of violent attacks against her, especially during Zimbabwe's dark time in 2008. she along with fellow MDC delegates were attacked in 2008. The people who attacked her were allowed to walk free, but that did not stop her. Instead it just gave her more Zeal to go on.
Today, I chose these two women because of their tireless work to make the lives of other Zimbabweans better. they are a testament that female politicians are at the same level, even a above, as their male counterparts.
