By A Correspondent | ZimEye | This is Comfort Dondo, the only woman who in 2022 single handedly exposed Tendai Biti and Hopewell Chin’ono over their “anga apera ega” saga, when she travelled to meet Biti’s Zambian lawyers; the only human rights activist to stand up over the abused mother of 5 Marry Chiwenga, the only person who donated money for drone technology to find the late Moreblessing Ali, and the only female activist to speak out over the rising list of rape victims subjected to military deployment after Mr Hopewell Chin’ono corruptly advised the minister of Defence to unleash soldiers onto Nelson Chamisa’s party in the 2018-2024 period- the deployment that’s destroyed Chamisa’s party.
Dondo, is also the first Zimbabwean to fly an acid attack victim, Primerose Ruwocha for the nation’s first reconstructive surgery in US. Comfort’s commitment to stand up for abused women might guide a new spirit of national servitude.

Comfort’s activism extends far beyond political disputes. She is the singular voice that rose in defense of Marry Chiwenga, an abused mother of five, bringing her plight into the spotlight.
