hank you Madame Immediate Past Area A1 Governor for
taking time from your busy schedule to agreeing to this
interview. Many congratulations for successfully and exceptionally completing your term as Area A1 Governor. Please briefly tell
us about your experiences as a toastmaster. My experience has been second to
none. Initialy joined Toastmasters because I wanted to enhance my public speaking skills, which is
what most people think Toastmasters is all about and limited to. I had noidea what was in store for
me as an individual with a desire to grow. I have derived many a benefit and exposure and I’m still
on my journey.
What have been the major highlights during your term as Area Governor? Major highlights for me
include the fact that I was probably the first woman to be given such an opportunity to serve
Toastmasters Zimbabwe in a very long time. Secondly, it was during my tenure that clubs grew
from 3 to 5 chartered clubs. I was instrumental in starting and chartering Diplomatic Corps, which is
the first of the two clubs that were added to clubs in Zimbabwe culminating in us now having two
areas A1 and A6 respectively. I am proud to say I played a part in this milestone. Finally, as if that is
not enough, Lloyd Mugabe was crowned District Champion in May 2014 and went on to represent
