American delegates who served as ambassadors and focusing on African affairs have joined arms imploring the Harvard University to exercise due diligence and consider rescinding Honorary Ambassadorship to First Lady Auxilia Mnangagwa.
Harvard University appointed Zimbabwe’s First Lady with a Harvard global health catalyst after her job in fighting cancer through awareness campaign programs.

“To be blunt, your well-intentioned work in these areas are tainted by the affiliation with Ms. Mnangagwa and her direct personal connection to an increasingly corrupt and abusive administration in which tolerance for dissent is nonexistent and democratic rights are violently denied,” the call says.

The former diplomats include retired ambassadors to Zimbabwe Harry Thomas, Bruce Wharton, Charles Ray and Christopher Dell.
The delegates also sited the alleged abduction of Dr Peter Magombe as a reason why Zimbabwe’s First Lady’s ambassadorship should be rescinded

“The most pertinent example is that of Dr. Peter Magombeyi, president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, who “disappeared” on September 14 and was discovered five days later, left on the side of a road, disoriented, and suffering from the effects of torture,” the delegated say.
“According to local reports, among the acts of violence committed against Dr. Magombeyi – while he was in the custody of suspected state agents – was the use electroshock torture.”
“While the case of Dr. Magombeyi is indeed alarming, his ordeal is merely the latest in a raft of disappearances carried out in Zimbabwe, over the course of several decades, and since President Mnangagwa seized power in a November 2017 military coup.”

Besides Harvard University, Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health also honored with ambassadorship Mnangagwa for her job in health.
