*first-lady-dr-auxillia-mnangagwa-philanthropy* _On the fast lane to 2030 by Maxwell Haitengeswinyika Teedzai_ *A heart of gold: Celebrating the philanthropic spirit of First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa* | Sun Feb 23. 2025 In the Great Republic of Zimbabwe, we have witnessed a remarkable journey of compassion and dedication led by First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa. Recently, her efforts were exemplified through a generous donation of medical equipment from EverX in Sydney, Australia, aimed at enhancing healthcare for women and children via the Angel of Hope Foundation. This generous shipment, which includes essential items such as ultrasound machines, resuscitation equipment, and mobility aids, is a testimony to her unwavering commitment to the well-being of our citizens. Yet, despite these noble efforts, there remains a perplexing disconnect. Many question her motives, casting shadows of doubt on her tireless work. When we had a less active First Lady, complaints rang out, comparing her to others from foreign lands. Now that we have a First Lady who actively champions the cause of the vulnerable, some still find reasons to criticize. What is it we truly desire in our Leaders? Is it not the very essence of service and sacrifice that Dr Auxillia embodies? As the Angel of the Nation, she selflessly dedicates her life to uplift widows, orphans, the physically challenged, and women and girls. Her mission does not seek personal gain; rather, it seeks to foster hope and dignity for those who often go unseen. Yet, in return for her labor of love, she faces insults and disdain. It seems the issue lies not solely with Leadership but with the very citizens being led. As our elders wisely say, “Chakanaka chakanaka mukaka haurungwi munyu.” The resources that Dr Auxillia distributes are largely sourced through her own efforts. She traverses the globe, seeking donations and support. Being a First Lady certainly aids her in these endeavors, as she is warmly welcomed by her counterparts during fundraising tours. Importantly, she does not deplete the Nation’s coffers; instead, she invests her energy to bring smiles to those in need. Dr Auxillia’s work extends beyond mere charity; it is a lifeline for many. Her Angel of Hope Foundation operates without partisanship, ensuring no one is left behind. She embodies the spirit of unity and compassion that our Nation requires. In a time where cynicism often overshadows hope, she stands as a beacon of light, reminding us of the power of giving. As we reflect on her contributions, let us acknowledge the immense value of her efforts. She is not just the First Lady; she is a true champion for the people of the Great Republic of Zimbabwe. Her legacy will not only be measured by the resources she brings but by the countless lives she touches and uplifts. We must rally behind her, offering our respect and appreciation for the noble work she continues to champion. In honoring her contributions, we reaffirm our commitment to a brighter future for all, recognizing that together, we can build a Nation where compassion reigns supreme. Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa is indeed the greatest First Lady our country has ever had, and it is time we celebrate her unwavering dedication to the betterment of our society. #philanthropy #reengagement #leadership #hope #unity #greatrepublicofzimbabwe
