Soiling a charitable soul
Mapozho Saruchera
Christened President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s “secret weapon” during the 2018 electioneering, her messages and deeds resonated well with a significant percentage of the “silent vote” – the people that do not come to rallies. However, to her, it was not about votes but uplifting society as she had been in this line of work for some time. To the uplifted, she came across as a person conscious about social problems such as child marriages and cervical cancer and how they could be mitigated – the personification of the softer side of politics, a Fist Lady.
