Durban - Former South African deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, currently the United Nations under-secretary-general and executive director of UN Women, has been named the recipient of the 2019 Cannes LionHeart award, UN Women said in a statement on Monday.
"Throughout her career, Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka has championed women’s rights through her involvement with projects and programmes devoted to education, women’s empowerment and gender equality and in 2018 was named by Apolitical as one of the most influential people in gender policy around the world. Her work spans the private sector, civil society and government," said the statement.
"As the powerhouse behind the initiative, which launched in 2017, she unites leaders to tackle the widespread prevalence of stereotypes that are often perpetuated through media and advertising content," said the statement.
Salute for serving the women interest in the UN!!!!!
BoipeloM__ When is she coming back to contest Presidency?
'honorary award presented to a person ' Not just a woman!!
In incredible award and NOT a women's award!! This is THE award! International and NOT limited to woman. Misleading headline. But then IOL are prone to misleading info!!
ANC screwed up big time by not having faith in women to lead as presidents. Phumzile Mlambo -Ngcuka was more than willing to fill Mbeki's shoes, she was prepared to walk barefoot on coal fire for our country! A loss of SA is always a gain for the world.
MbalulaFikile We still in need of a deputy president. She must come and claim her position.
Only thing remembered that she used government jet to go to Paris for shopping 😁😁
Not impressed, Not knowing what work she has done for humanity?
Mbele_Roberts Can't keep a good man down If you believe in greatness, it will follow you
MbalulaFikile Just like good wine❤❤
MbalulaFikile Congratulations Cde Phumzile. This goes a long way in proving that no dishonour can snatch honour from an honorable person. Our country needs more of you.
MbalulaFikile Leadership

LuthandoRT ANCWL's most hated woman. A woman of substance and worth. Revered only by true patriots. Those who put the country first. Skatlo re botsa ka bo Bathabile le bo Nomvula kanye nabo Faith!
Congratulation , keep shining and be recognized because your own country never recognized you

Bayabuya Bayabuya 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️😂😂😂😂 They suddenly crawling out of all the corners. Where are the Moleketis? 96 class project being revived, elevated and made fashionable.
What has she done for women in SA? the 'Gogo Dlamini's' of her own country?
stone which the builders refused has become the head stone of the corner. Best leader capable of restoring sasa fika.
Well done! Besides being a worthy recipient she is (I'm reliably told) a smart and gracious person.
Big ups Mummy

If you gave her a fully 5 years term by then, South Africa would've been a better country by now but you chose Zuma instead look at the ANC now.
Congratulations
