Auxillia Mnangangwa Doesn’t Hold The 'Qualities' To Be A Speaker At Flair
FLAIR is a high-level platform for strategic alliances and meaningful discussion, whereby most influential women who have impacted lives in different aspects. Various influential women from different nations will be among the speakers e.g. Queen Diambi of Congo who runs the Elikia Hope Foundation that focuses on essential services like education, free healthcare, and clean water. Queen of Warri State, Olori Atuwatse III, who advocates for children’s rights, provides scholarships and welfare outreach focused on women, children and the elderly.
To see Auxillia Mnangangwa as one of the speakers is definitely appalling, as she doesn’t hold the 'qualities' of being an influential women. The only “significant impact”, she and her husband Emmerson Mnangangwa has acheived, is that of destroying Zimbabwe. Auxillia Mnangagwa has not done any impactful thing especially for the women, as she holds the title of the 'First Lady' of Zimbabwe, there’s absolutely nothing to show for it, instead she has used that title to abuse power.
Since Auxillia Mnangangwa has taken over the wildlife department and is stealing elephant and rhino trophies to send to China, she sacked Environmental Minister Stembiso Nyoni, who stood in the way of her corrupt practices. Auxillia has captured lithium resources, which she is plundering for China. She is guiding her sons to destroy Zimbabwe, and Auxillia is now effectively in charge of employing and dismissing public servants. Sean Mnangagwa has monopolised the military procurement system, inflating military budgets under the leverage of his father’s influence. Collins Mnangagwa has been wreaking havoc in Midlands and Matabeleland, where he pilfers gold and operates a cartel involved in gold trafficking.
There is a high maternal mortality rate in Zimbabwe due to poor and inadequate health facilities. Most Zimbabweans live in areas without well-equipped medical centres or have to pay hefty amount for treatment of which some of them cannot afford. While Auxillia and her family and other Zanu-Pf officials travel abroad for medical check-ups and instead of improving their own country’s health care systems, they lavishly spend funds buying luxurious cars among themselves.
There is a high rate of inflation in Zimbabwe and social challenges the youth are now in engaging in drugs abuse due to lack of employment.
Auxillia Mnangangwa, as an “philanthropist”, as she calls herself, and her inactive Angel of Hope Foundation has even failed to provide for the vulnerable children. Majority of the children in Zimbabwe are out school due to the inability to afford school fees. As a result a high alarming rate of child sexual abuse, child labour and teen pregnancies is largely increasing in Zimbabwe. Although her charity claims to advocates for health, children welfare and women’s rights, critics contend it functions mostly as publicity, to enhance the Mnangagwa family’s reputation rather than instigating genuine change.
The title of first lady or mother of the nation is merely a label that holds no significant meaning for Auxillia Mnangangwa.
Hence, inviting Auxillia Mnangangwa to the Flair Summit, is a waste of nation’s resources and devalues the main goal for the Flair Summit

Boycotting the FLAIR, Boycotting Auxillia
It looks like numbers are not adding up for Auxillia and Zanu PF at the FLAIR summit where they hoped to clean up some of their soiled linen. Potential audiences are boycotting. They do not wish to be associated with Zanu PF shenanigans. And when numbers are not adding up, Zanu PF does what Zanu PF is good at – they fudge the numbers.
They bring the cheque book too. No, they bring wads of cash – dirty cash, all stolen from the poor citizens.
Zanu PF is known for number crunching, especially if the numbers are not what they want the numbers to look like. It is what they have always done since 18 April 1980. Actually since 8 August, 1963 when the ‘creature’ was born. The numbers that you see in election after election are fudged numbers, what you get in creative accounting. Creative elections, creative outcomes.
As the FLAIR dates draw close, signs are that it will be boycotted by everyone with eyes to see how Auxillia wished to bleach the Zanu image at this summit. Even if she brings plane loads of cheerleaders from Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe, as they have always done at UNGA in New York when hubby addresses his only entourage and empty chairs year after year. It is not helping that Dawn Butler (MP) has boycotted the summit too, as she did not give permissions to be one of the speakers! She too, like all the other would be participants might have seen through the Zanu PF’s cheap public relations stunt. They refuse to endorse the Harare shenanigans.
It will be a sad day if the whole summit is to be brought down by a murderous regime with a different agenda than the rest of the participants and organisers. And it will be sadder if they give in by giving away the tickets to the summit at half the price or for free. Zanu is ready to doll out large sums of money to buy the 3200 seats and allocate them to whosoever is willing to endure Auxillia’s predictable but boring speech and get paid for it. Their options are few. Either they fork out the cash and trade people’s consciences for money, or she addresses empty seats.
One wonders whether the wads of cash in Sterling are going to work on our conscience and make us forget the sadistic and treacherous regime. Will money be enough to make the Zimbabweans in UK to get away from their otherwise busy schedules to listen to a choreographed speech authored at Shake - Shake building, the Zanu PF headquarters?
After all money is the least of your problems if your husband is the owner of a whole rich country called Zimbabwe, and if your children are the ‘rightful heirs’ to the loot.

The nine women arrested in Zimbabwe for allegedly booing First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa were not detained long-term and are no longer in custody.
The incident occurred on April 10, 2024, at Watsomba Business Centre in Manicaland province during a charitable event where Mnangagwa was distributing groceries and clothing. The women, frustrated at not receiving these freebies, reportedly stood up and booed during her speech, leading to their arrest by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).
They were charged with disorderly conduct under section 41(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, with prosecutors claiming their actions were "unlawful, abusive, and insulting" to Mnangagwa.
The women, identified as Nester Chatiwana (41), Panashe Machekanzondo (19), Winnet Sithole (19), Maria Choto (49), Esnath Choto (33), Ellen Rujuwa (28), Faith Chidhakwa (30), Patience Matasva (35), and Joyce Mashingaidza (29), were detained at Mutare Central Police Station.
Represented by Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) lawyers Tatenda Sigauke and David Tandiri, they denied the charges, arguing they were targeted in a "dragnet arrest" for leaving the venue early before Mnangagwa’s speech concluded.
They were released on free bail by Mutare Magistrate Prisca Manhibi on April 12, 2024.
On April 14, 2024, all charges were withdrawn at Mnangagwa’s instruction, following discussions with ZRP Commissioner General Godwin Tandabantu Matanga, who agreed the police had overreacted. Presidential spokesperson George Charamba announced the decision, stating Mnangagwa acted as the complainant in withdrawing the case. The women were formally acquitted on April 16, 2024, at Mutare Magistrates Court after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the charges.
The incident sparked significant criticism, with human rights advocates and social media users, including journalist Tawanda Majoni, condemning the arrests as an overreach and a violation of free expression. The event echoed a 2017 case where ZANU-PF youths were prosecuted for booing former First Lady Grace Mugabe, though those charges were also later dropped. The arrests highlighted ongoing concerns about civil liberties in Zimbabwe, where dissent is often met with swift punitive measures.No further detentions or legal actions against these women have been reported since the charges were withdrawn.[](Zimlive.com/booing-women/)[](Mbaretimes.com/2024/04/auxillia-mnangagwa-)[](ZLHR.org.zw)
Whilst Mnangagwa did not press charges these women spent 2 days in jail - as the cult of “leadership”, “State over-protection” and “worship” perceived that Auxilla would be offended! This is NOT how any free society should operate!
In addition the handing out of food etc, is in itself patronising and oppressive - given the terrible state Zimbabwe is in because of Zanu PF, ED and Auxilla - their dynasty is just “do nasty”
