Dr Amai Grace Mugabe

Women now have a greater impact in politics globally. They have gained fame, recognition and support across societies.

Political issues no longer cater for men alone like in the past. For instance, in the Zimbabwean context Dr Grace 'Amai' Mugabe has received a lot of support in her political adventure. She has been able to reveal corruption which has been taking place in the country. Above all she had the courage and bravery to reveal corruption without fearand favour . A good example can be drawn in how she raised all allegations involving the former vice president, Joyce Mujuru.

“The faction leader is moving around saying Mai Mugabe has money, yet the (same) person has diamond mines and has about 10% shares in almost every company,” Grace said.
 
“That is greed. That is corruption. Yet the person goes around saying a lot of rubbish about Amai Mugabe. That is why I am saying to baba, if he does not dump the person in the street to be devoured by the dogs, we will do it ourselves.” 

Through all this one may argue that women's impact in politics is now being  felt and seen in the society. Dr Mugabe has been touring around Zimbabwe adressing people on political issues. This shows that women are now playing a bigger role, and a lot of people were attending her rallies.  

According to some ZBC programmes and other Newspapers like the Chronicle , when Amai Mugabe came back from where she heard surgeries in the west a lot of people came to meet her at the Airport. This therefore shows that women now have power,support and are now famous in politics. ZBC published that more than a thousand people were there to meet Dr Grace Mugabe, pointing to how influential she has become.
