First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa met a 14-year-old girl who helped deliver a neighbor's baby while adults fled the scene at Mhiripiri Shopping Center in Macheke. Chiedza Mushunje told the First Lady she drew courage from media programs encouraging young women to assist others in emergencies. The teenager awaits Grade 7 examination results from Tashinga Primary School.
Dr. Mnangagga promised to fund Chiedza's secondary education if she passes her tests, supporting her ambition to become a nurse. The girl relied on health education knowledge to help give birth to the infant at the shopping center under Chief Makoni's jurisdiction. Community members returned only after hearing the newborn cry.
Chiedza's mother, Tecla Mushumbi, thanked the First Lady for recognizing her daughter's actions. Dr. Mnangagga provided groceries and clothing to the family at her Harare offices.
