"As the women of Zimbabwe, particularly within Zanu PF, we truly value this acknowledgment. It was long overdue, given that we stood alongside our male counterparts during the liberation struggle. We owe our gratitude to the new and second President of the Republic, who is sensitive to gender issues and recognizes that the fight for this country's liberation was a joint effort by both men and women. We sincerely appreciate this recognition."
