FLAIR is a high-level platform for strategic alliances and meaningful discussion, whereby most influential women who have impacted lives in different aspects.
Various influential women from different nations will be among the speakers for example Queen Diambi of Congo who runs the Elikia Hope Foundation that focuses on essential services like education, free healthcare, and clean water. Queen of Warri State, Olori Atuwatse III, who advocates for children’s rights, provides scholarships and welfare outreach focused on women, children and the elderly.
To see Auxillia Mnangangwa as one of the speakers is appalling, as she doesn’t hold the qualities of being an influential woman.
The only “significant impact”, she and her husband Emmerson Mnangangwa has done is destroying Zimbabwe. Auxillia Mnangagwa has not done any impactful thing especially for the women as she holds the title of the first lady of Zimbabwe, there’s absolutely nothing to show for it, instead she has used that title to abuse power.
Since Auxillia Mnangangwa has taken over the wildlife department and is alledged to have taken elephant and rhino trophies to send to China
She also accused of capturing lithium resources, which she is plundering for China. She is guiding her sons to destroy Zimbabwe, and Auxillia is now effectively in charge of employing and dismissing public servants.

One of her son's Sean Mnangagwa has monopolised the military procurement system, inflating military budgets under the leverage of his father’s influence. Collins Mnangagwa has been wreaking havoc in Midlands and Matabeleland, where he pilfers gold and operates a cartel involved in gold trafficking.
There is a high maternal mortality rate in Zimbabwe due to poor and inadequate health facilities. Most Zimbabweans live in areas without well-equipped medical centres or must pay a hefty amount for treatment of which some of them cannot afford.
While Auxillia and her family and other Zanu-Pf officials travel abroad for medical check-ups and instead of improving their own country’s health care systems, they lavishly spend funds buying luxurious cars among themselves.
There is a high rate of inflation in Zimbabwe and social challenges the youth are now in engaging in drugs abuse due to lack of employment.
Auxillia Mnangangwa, as a “philanthropist”, as she calls herself, and her Angel of Hope Foundation has even failed to provide for the vulnerable children.
Majority of the children in Zimbabwe are out of school due to the inability to afford school fees. As a result, a high alarming rate of child sexual abuse, child labour and teen pregnancies is largely increasing in Zimbabwe.
Although her charity claims to advocate for health, children welfare and women’s rights, critics contend it functions mostly as publicity to enhance the Mnangagwa family’s reputation rather than instigating genuine change.
Hence, inviting Auxillia Mnangangwa to the Flair Summit devalues the main goal of the Summit.
