Sipho Mazibuko, also known as NaZoe, has made it to the final phase of the SHE Global Awards 2024 in the Social Founder of the Year category (over 30 years).

In an interview with SkyzMetro FM, Mazibuko expressed her excitement and gratitude for the nomination, proudly raising the Zimbabwean flag on the global stage.

“I feel truly appreciated because, as they say, ‘a prophet is not recognized in their own land.’ Sometimes it feels that way for me. People here don’t always fully appreciate things like Miss Rural, but they should be the ones celebrating my achievements and supporting me.

I was deeply touched that people in other countries recognize my work with Esteemed Business Women, Mental Voices, where I fight Gender-Based Violence and raise awareness about mental health. I am incredibly happy that the SHE Awards encompass many countries across Africa and beyond. It’s an honor to be raising the Zimbabwean flag high,” said Mazibuko.

A businesswoman, modeling instructor, and former model, Mazibuko is the founder of Miss Rural and Mr. Rural Zimbabwe, CEO of Lavinia Gardens, and founder of both Mental Voices Trust and Esteemed Business Women.

Mazibuko’s nomination is a well-earned acknowledgment of her efforts to empower and uplift others. The SHE Global Awards celebrate women entrepreneurs in Africa who drive economic growth and job creation.
