The First Lady, Amai Grace Mugabe, who is also the Zanu-PF Secretary for Women’s Affairs, turns 52 this Sunday (July 23).
This occasion affords Zimbabweans an opportunity to celebrate the life of a selfless philanthropist who continues to champion the cause for the upliftment of the under-privileged, principally through her work at the Mazoe Children’s Home, Grace Mugabe Junior School and the Danhiko Centre for the Disabled.

The First Lady has also carved herself a niche as an outstanding entrepreneur, having established a state-of-the-art dairy enterprise under Alpha and Omega Dairy, at what was formerly a pristine jungle.
Amai Mugabe has over the years transformed Alpha and Omega Dairy into a sprawling enterprise with firm footprints along the entire dairy value chain.
As a fitting tribute to her outstanding business acumen, she was duly awarded the prestigious honour of the Outstanding Innovator for the year 2016 by the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce.

Over the years, the First Lady has continued to be a bastion for the defence of good moral and family values, which are critical for social cohesion and national development.
The nation applauds Amai Mugabe, the Mother of the Nation, for her love for the vulnerable and children, and untiring devotion in taking care of the needy in our society. May the Almighty grant her good health and many more happy years.
