Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s wife, Colonel Miniyothabo Baloyi-Chiwenga, once again stole the show at Zimbabwe’s 45th Independence Day celebrations held in Gokwe on Friday, 18 April.

The standout piece featured bold shoulder pads and a fitted bodice proudly displaying the Zimbabwean coat of arms. The bottom half was intricately beaded with shimmering sequins arranged in symmetrical patterns that added elegance and sophistication.

Her outfit was perfectly in sync with Vice President Chiwenga’s green suit, creating a visually coordinated and patriotic look for the occasion.

Social Media Reacts: “Mai Vanochena Havo Ava”

After government spokesperson Nick Mangwana shared photos of the couple on his official X account, Zimbabweans took to the comments section with admiration for Colonel Minnie’s style. Many were impressed by the creativity and execution of the design.

Here’s what some users had to say:

Brilliant design ideas for Miniyothabo. Kudos to the brains behind the designs. Chakanaka chakanaka, hachirungwi munyu.

@Arnold80527187:

Yeah, his attire shows that he’s trying to send a message to Zanu PF to stop politicking and politicising national events by putting on Zanu PF regalia at events which must be seen as national events.

Not Her First Viral Moment

This isn’t the first time Baloyi-Chiwenga’s fashion choices have made waves. In 2024, she went viral after wearing a daring national dress with a transparent lace bodice, blending tradition with modern style. The design, which featured national colours and the Zimbabwean bird, was both elegant and symbolic.

While traditional Zimbabwean attire often includes a wraparound cloth, earrings, and necklaces, Colonel Minnie’s take adds a modern flair, making her one of the most talked-about figures at state events.
