women are coming with power

Women seem to be making it in politics. They need not more than a year to accomplish their political missions. Their political strategies now have power, they can destroy whatever they don’t want and get what they want. For example, it didn’t take time for Dr Grace Mugabe to defeat the former vice president, Dr Mujuru. Batanai Mutasa from Online Southerneye notes that people have been circulating jokes about Dr Grace Mugabe. One of the jokes says:

“It took England 30 years to try and destroy Zanu PF and it failed, but it only took Dr Grace one week to do it, now do you still question her degree?” reads the message, a backhanded reference to her doctor of philosophy degree which has been roundly questioned”

This reveals that women ae coming with power in their political activities. Despite all the jokes, they still point to the power and vigour women are exhibiting. Imagine if women had never been subjected to the mean partriachal society, possibly we could be talking about a milestone achievement in most African economies.

These jokes are sometimes discouraging, but that's the nature of our societies that have always believed in the power of male leadership. On one hand, it is impressive that Grace has been consistent in her endeavors but on the other, it is sad that she is shooting down a fellow woman, which may mean that the number of women will hardly increase or grow, hence their impact will not be easily felt.
