President Mnangagwa has praised the work his wife is doing
to uplift the lives of poor people in Zimbabwe.
At an appreciation dinner hosted by the First Lady for
partners who worked with her philanthropic arm, Angel of Hope Foundation, the
President said he was “touched” by some of the work that the foundation has
done so far.
“Sometimes when we are watching TV at home and some
pathetic case comes up, she will quickly say, ‘Daddy, torai number iri kubuda
pascreen ndigomufonera and see how I can assist’.”
He left the gathering in stitches when he said, “When I was
about to leave ndabva ndanzi, ‘daddy, ko mungangoyenda here without pledging
something to the foundation?’ And I said to her, ‘Amai, are we not together in
this? So what can I donate?’I then whispered to her that I would donate two
goats, two sheep and two cattle, but she said, ‘bodo, daddy, hazviite, think
about something else’ . . . I then saw that I was not going to win and decided
to come up with another pledge. I will give the foundation rice, grain and some
financial assistance so that it continues with assisting those in need.”
