Auxilia in the Flair Summit
- Auxilia has been in zanupf 45 years
- Auxilia has been Ed’s wife more than 45years
- Auxilia was there when Ed commanded the massacre of 20000 civilians in gukurahundi deemed “moment of madness “
- What did she say or do? Nothing
Auxilia was there when a 15 year old girl was given out in marriage to a 70 year old and she died in childbirth and Auxilia said Nothing
Auxilia has stood by Ed during corruption, nepotism, abductions and torture of Zimbabweans and has said nothing
Auxilia is coming to the UK to the FLAIR summit to say Nothing
She is coming to England for a shopping spree at the tax payer’s expense with an entourage of friends and family
Auxilia has no shame she is the Chief Mafia. She does not care about Ed’s numerous children but only cares about her own children. She does not have the qualities of a good mother so even calling her First Lady she does not deserve it.
She cannot talk of empowerment; when she is not championing all Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans - especially Zimbabwean Women

Women of Zimbabwe (WoZ) expresses strong objection to Mrs Auxilia Mnangagwa’s participation at the FLAIR Summit being held in London from 17-18 June 2025. WoZ’s concern stems from Mrs Mnangagwa’s apparent indifference to the suffering of women in Zimbabwe, particularly in cases of women with different political views.
Mrs Mnangagwa has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of support for women’s rights and has failed to condemn or address the atrocities committed against women who are not aligned to the ruling party, Zanu PF or women who are human rights defenders and those who belong to different political opposition movements. This is not only a violation of basic human rights but also sends a dangerous message that such actions are acceptable. It is crucial that our community and events uphold and promote values that respect and protect all individuals, especially those who are vulnerable.
Since 2017, when her husband, ED Mnangagwa assumed the Presidency through a coup, many people including women were persecuted with some losing their lives. Mrs Mnangagwa’s Angel of Hope Foundation cites its ‘mission is to support the most vulnerable in society through providing access to healthcare, social services, education and economic empowerment initiatives with emphasis on women, youth and children’.
The foundation places emphasis on supporting women but it is surprising that women have been persecuted. Mrs Mnangagwa has never spoken out against the atrocities, visited the women and girls nor has she ever demanded answers in the case of MoreBlessing Ali who was abducted and murdered by known Zanu PF leaders in Nyatsime in May 2022. In August, 2018, six innocent Zimbabweans were killed by the Zimbabwe National Army following delays in announcing presidential results, she remained silent. In Jan 2019, following fuel riots, over fifty women came forward alleging sexual assaults and rape by the Army, she did not speak out. In August 2023, women from opposition political movement (CCC), reported being sexually assaulted and raped by the Zimbabwe Army and members of Zanu PF, but she did not question or seek to find the truth.
Mrs Mnangagwa’s participation at this summit sends a message that we are willing to overlook these serious issues for the sake of other considerations. This is not only morally wrong but also undermines the integrity of this event and the values it purports to represent. It is imperative that as Women of Zimbabwe we stand firm in our commitment to supporting and advocating for women’s rights and safety. Mrs Mnangagwa is a danger to women and to those she says she supports through her Angel of Hope Foundation.
The organisers of this event ought to reconsider their invitation to Mrs Mnangagwa. We urge Dr. Yvonne Thompson CBE DL, co-founder of FLAIR to think about the consequences of associating with wives of known dictators who disrespect human life and commit atrocities against their own citizens.
I believe that this will not only strengthen their event but also send a clear message that they stand against any form of injustice and support the rights and safety of all individuals.

Statement of Protest Against the Invitation of Auxillia Mnangagwa to the FLAIR Meeting in London
17th and 18th June 2025 Leonardo Royal Hotel, 45 Prescot Street, London, E1 8GP
As concerned Zimbabwean women in the diaspora, we strongly condemn the invitation of Auxillia Mnangagwa to the FLAIR Meeting in London. Her presence at an event meant to empower and uplift women is a direct insult to the suffering of countless women in Zimbabwe – suffering that she has consistently ignored, enabled, or turned a blind eye to.
Auxillia Mnangagwa, as the self-proclaimed "mother of the nation", has failed in her moral and civic duty to stand with women.
One glaring example is the inhumane treatment of Mary Chiwenga (Mubaiwa), the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. Mary was denied access to medical treatment abroad after her passport was confiscated by the state. Auxillia remained silent during Mary’s ordeal – an ordeal that ended in her losing a limb and being separated from her biological children.
How can someone who dines and smiles with Chiwenga, while ignoring the plight of the mother of his children, be held up as a beacon of women’s empowerment? Her silence was complicity. Her indifference was violence.
As Petty Ziramba, a Zimbabwean woman living in the UK, I am disgusted.
I feel betrayed that a platform that should amplify authentic female voices has instead chosen to celebrate someone who has failed the very women she claims to represent.
FLAIR stands for First Ladies of Africa Impact & Resilience – qualities that Auxillia Mnangagwa has clearly not embodied in her public conduct. We call on the organisers of the FLAIR Meeting to reconsider this invitation. Zimbabwean women deserve true representation – not photo opportunities or performative leadership.

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.
