By Own Correspondent| Zimbabwe’s First lady, Auxilia Mnangagwa, won the Pan-African Humanitarian Award for her philanthropic work at the recent awards ceremony held in Morocco.

The award category is for leaders who have demonstrated high levels of selflessness and commitment to serving humanity and promoting sustainable community development by reaching out and touching the lives of the vulnerable in their countries.

The first lady acknowledged the efforts of her partners. She further called upon those who are willing to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable people in society to come forward.

Conferring the award to her, the chairman of Pan African’s advisory board, Ambassador Wallace Williams said:

The conferment is based on your cumulative outstanding leadership qualities, exceptional contribution and persistent efforts to Africa’s development through several bold policies and innovative initiatives geared towards building a prosperous, sustainable, regionally-integrated and globally-competitive Africa through the Organisation of African First Ladies and your Angel of Hope Foundation.

The First Lady also scooped the 2019 African Phenomenal Woman of the Year Award in recognition of her philanthropic work in Zimbabwe.
