She is a role model to the women of Zimbabwe as she has had the courage and confidence to compete with men until she was able to get a seat as a member of the parliament. Joyce Mujuru has become exemplary to the women of Zimbabwe showing them that women also are fit to be in the public sphere and this is possible when they gain confidence in themselves.
She has served the country of Zimbabwe since 2004 up until 2014 when she was sacked for allegedly plotting to kill the president.Despite the fact that she has served the country ,her efforts are now not recognized at all and despite all the allegations that have been made against her,,she still had the guts to stand up and defend herself as an independent individual......
.'A vociferous attempt has been made to portray me as 'a murder', and 'sellout' yet no iota of evidence has been produced to give credence to the allegations'
Female politicians have been treated and are still treated like second class citizens.They have been labelled with all sorts of names and in the case of Joyce Mujuru she has been called a 'treacherous cabal ', she who was once seen as heir apparent.Despite the bad that she has done ,for example she has been alleged to be a corrupt individual ,her role in uplifting women should also be recognized . She has advocated for women 's emancipation as she has advised women not to see themselves as second priority because they are equal to men.
