Honoured to have presented the live broadcast of the 7th Intergenerational Retreat for the African Women’s Leaders Network (AWLN) at HICC in Harare in September! 🤝 I had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with giants, including Africa's female Head of State, H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, H.E. Sahle-Work Zewde, and H.E. Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, as well as Mme Bineta Diop. Huge thanks to Hon. Monica Mutsvangwa and her ministry for hosting this incredible event. I'm also humbled to have received an award of appreciation for my contributions. Standing on the shoulders of giants indeed! I also got in a discussion with the The first African female Head of State, sharing nuggets in politics and governance as a female leader 🔥

With the phenomenal Hon. Minister Mai Mutsvangwa

I'm currently hosting the SADC Transfrontier Conservation Areas International Conference and Summit at Rainbow Towers Hotel HICC, running from May 19th to 23rd, 2025. With over 500 esteemed delegates in attendance, including Heads of State and Government, representatives from international organizations, and biodiversity and ecosystem experts, this event is truly monumental. The summit's theme, '25 Years of Cooperation for Regional Integration and Sustainable Development,' is both timely and crucial. I'm honored to be a TV presenter for an event of this magnitude.

*"The Forgotten Struggle: Uncovering the Dark Side of Modern Masculinity"*

Article by Rumbie Chakanza

As the feminist movement gains momentum, a critical examination of its impact on men's rights and dignity is long overdue. Regrettably, extremist factions have hijacked the narrative, perpetuating harmful attitudes that erode men's autonomy and potential.

A disturbing reality emerges when considering the alarming disparities in men's health and social well-being:

- Women surpass men in higher education attainment, with higher college enrollment, graduation, and graduate degree completion rates.
- Men face disproportionate rates of su***de, higher substance abuse rates, increased occupational hazards, and a five-year lower life expectancy compared to women.
- Alarming rates of gaming addiction, po*******hy addiction, and obesity among men exacerbate these concerns.

These statistics underscore a pressing issue: the lack of attention to men's struggles. Despite holding most leadership roles globally, men's challenges persist, often unaddressed.

False accusations of r**e and denial of paternal custody of children are grave concerns. The stigma surrounding men's mental health and vulnerability perpetuates silence.

It's time to reevaluate our approach to equality. Can we truly achieve balance by overlooking men's struggles?

The solution lies in a balanced approach that protects the rights and dignity of all individuals. Men must initiate advocacy programs to combat these issues.

By acknowledging and addressing these challenges, we can work toward true equality and inclusivity.
