Divine Ndhlukula has won the prestigious Forbes Africa Woman Businesswoman
of the Year Award.

In winning the award Ndhlukula beat leading women businesspeople from
across the continent bringing Zimbabwe into sharp focus on International
Women's Day in Durban South Africa.

In accepting the award, Ndhlukula said African women have come a long way
to get the recognition they now get globally.

"It's such an honour for me to receive the award on a special day like
today (International Women's Day). We are coming from very far as women in
Africa. This award was totally unexpected. We don't do what we do so that we
are recognised, but there is indeed a reward for giving of ourselves and in
doing what we do," said Ndhlukula.

In the citation to the award, Forbes said of Ndhlukula: "A locally and
internationally respected role-role-player in security Simbi-Ndhlukula is
also praised for her passion for female economic and social empowerment,
founding the Mentorship In Practice Programme and Woman-Owned Brand
Initiative."

Her company, Securico was recently nominated on the London Stock Exchange
(LSE) "list of companies to inspire Africa 2019" a collection by the LSE
Group comprising of companies picked by its partners, development finance

Securico employs around 800 women since breaking patriarchal barriers to
