6 Zimbabwean females win elections in the UK

Zimbabweans are flying the nation’s flag with their achievements in other lands. For instance, different elections in the UK have left 8 Zimbabweans in winning positions in their respective districts.

Of the 8 elected Zimbabweans, 6 of them were female. This is a very rare phenomenon in our own country, to have women take more positions than men in politics. The 6 females and their respective roles are as follows:

1. Amanda Tandi, 47 – Councillor, District Of Knebworth
2. Nicole Nkazimulo Moyo, 23 – Councillor, Peterborough.
3. Lorraine Chirirsa, 45 – Councillor, Northampton.
4. Kate Nicoll, 33. – Mayor: Belfast
5. Alice Mpofu Coles, 56 – Councillor, Whitley, Reading
6. Maggie Chapman, 41, MP for North East Scotland.

We have covered 2 of these candidates in previous articles. One was relating to the youngest candidate on the list, Nicole Moyo. You can read that article here.

The second candidate is Maggie Chapman who insisted on representing her country of origin, Zimbabwe, by saying her oath in Shona. Watch that video here.

The male candidates, who the nation is equally proud of are:

1. Tafadzwa Chikoto, 45 – Councillor, Oakley, Corby
2. Adam Jogee, 30. – Mayor, Harringey.

There are many other Zimbabweans who are not in the political field who are also representing the nation well. We covered the story of a Zimbabwean teenager who was recently signed by UK League one football club, Sunderland. Read about that here.

Another noteworthy story is that of the Zimbabwean comedian who was chosen to feature on UK’s MasterChef 2021. More on that here.
