Vice President Joice Mujuru has been awarded a prestigious African prize, in recognition of 'continental leadership' and 'protecting vulnerable women and children.'
In a letter to the Vice-President, the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development (CELD), said Mujuru's leadership inspired many girls and women worldwide.
"The organisers considered your dynamic role in the leadership of Zimbabwe and the African region as a whole which has served as an inspiration to girls and women all over Africa and the rest of the world, as well as your contribution in protecting vulnerable women, and have selected you as the recipient of the prestigious Distinguished African Amazon Award 2012," reads part of the letter.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Gambian Vice-President Dr Isatou Njie-Saidy have previously been honoured with the same award in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Mujuru will receive the honour at an International Conference on African Women Development in the United Arab Emirates next month.
