This stems from the fact that Zimbabwe has been largely a patriarchal society. I must say transforming men into allies in the workplace is not an easy task but can be done! Some men naturally view women as inferior to them and that becomes a problem. What have been some of the obstacles you’ve faced as a woman in the workplace? Even now I can never seem to be able to do half the things she does in the home! She still irons and cooks, constantly on her feet. My mum still takes care of her house even at 83. She talks to everybody she brings people together. She is a powerhouse! I look up to my mum as she always has some kind of foresight that is very grounded. My mother remains my mentor because she is a strong-willed woman, very practical and balanced in her life. As well, he is a loving and exemplary husband. He is an upright man who has managed to send all his children to school despite his meager income. My father was my mentor, I spent a lot of time with him and I would admire his resilience and determination in life. Who were some of your mentors early on in your life and career and how did they help you? We recently asked Chipo to share how she became one of the most successful women in her country. Chipo and her husband, Oliver, have raised five children and have one granddaughter, Samantha. In addition to being Managing Director of TelOne Pvt Ltd., Chipo also sits on the boards of several non-profit organizations including MATTER and Angel of Hope Foundation, founded by Zimbabwe’s First Lady. Recently, she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree in Business Management by the Women’s University in Africa. After high school, Chipo went on to earn an honor’s degree in accounting from the University of Zimbabwe, as well as Executive Management Development from the Wharton Business School in the United States.

Education was respected and pursued, opening doors of opportunity for Chipo that most of her peers, especially girls, were never able to realize. Though not rich in material wealth, Chipo’s family was rich in the values and traditions that provided her with a happy and grounded childhood. A successful businesswoman and passionate humanitarian, Chipo’s life is dedicated to helping others and improving life in her home country of Zimbabwe.īorn in a rural district, Chipo attended a United Methodist Church Mission school where her parents were teachers.
