A member
of Zimbabwe’s delegation to the Pan
African Parliament (PAP), Hon. Barbara Rwodzi has been sworn in as Deputy
Minister of Environment, Climate Change, Tourism, and Hospitality Industry by President Mnangagwa at the State House,
Harare on Friday.
With
her swearing in as a deputy minister, Rwodzi
ceases to be a member of Zimbabwe’s delegation to the Pan African Parliament.
Rwodzi
will be remembered for her role during
the Fourth Ordinary Session of the Fifth Parliament of the PAP, held in
May/June in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she teamed up with Namibia's McHenry Venaani, South Africa's Julius Malema to prevent the election
of the new president to take place due to failure to implement rotational
presidency of the parliament.
After almost two days of chaos, including physical
confrontations, outbursts, and disruptions, the AUC Chairperson directed the indefinite suspension of the session.
Hon. Rwodzi was the Southern Region Caucus
Campaign Coordinator of the team that attended the 39th Session of
the AU Executive Council where a decision
to apply the principle of rotation to the Pan African Parliament’s presidency
which will provide all the regions an equal opportunity to lead the parliament
was taken.
A holder of Master of Business Administration degree and an honours degree in Business Studies, Rwodzi is a successful businesswoman who owns a number of companies with interests in energy solutions, financial services, clothing and community development projects.
Congratulations Barbara Rwodzi on your being sworn in as the Deputy Minister of Environment, Climate Change and and Tourism in Zimbabwe. I pray that you continue to be at the driver seat of Zimbabwe nay Africa's net zero carbon plan.
