If there’s one thing Zimbabwe will never run out of, it’s big personalities, especially our women: our mothers, our grandmothers, aunties.
You just know the type - full of charisma in the best way. The kind of women who in another generation would be global stars, household names.
They are women who know who they are and don’t shrink for anyone.In this episode of Extraordinary Conversations with askChenai, Chenai and Vimbai dive headfirst into the life of a woman who has lived, and owned, every chapter on her terms.
Entrepreneur, marriage counsellor, mother of three and all-round force of nature Margaret Chidzonga doesn’t just tell her story—she serves it with fire. We go deep on:
Boarding school in Malawi, and moving alone to the Birmingham in her twenties
Building a marriage and family across Zimbabwe, UK, Switzerland, and beyond — while holding on to her own identity
Becoming a mother after 5 years of marriage
Buying a spa and turning it into a thriving wellness brand
The cultural shocks (and comic realities) of living in Switzerland without domestic help
Why self-love and self-reliance are the foundation for any woman’s happiness
This isn’t a polite fireside chat, it’s a masterclass in living boldly. Auntie Maggie’s story is a reminder that when you lead with courage, the world eventually moves to your rhythm.
