Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>United Kingdom-based global institution, El-Roi London University, has awarded Gweru-based businesswoman and philanthropist Dr Smelly Dube with an Honorary Professor of Mining and Industrial Development degree.<\/p>\n

According to journalist Brenna Matendere, the university recently wrote to Professor-designate Dube making the announcement. Part of the notification reads:<\/p>\n

Through the authority of the United Kingdom based global institution, El-Roi London University, you have been selected as a candidate for an Honorary Professor of Mining and Industrial Development.<\/p>\n

The authority of the institution recognizes all your work and outstanding achievement in the area of Mining and Industrial Development across Zimbabwe, and the continent of Africa at large.<\/p>\n

As an upstanding leader and forward-thinking individual, you exemplify all the standards that our establishment strives for.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we would like to, with great eagerness, propose to you an Honorary Professorship. We look forward to proceedings for the realization of this distinction.<\/p>\n

The honour was bestowed on Professor designate Dube by El-Roi London University\u2019s Prof Oluwafemi Esan, Vice-Chancellor and CEO- El Roi London University.<\/p>\n

He has a PhD, MSc, MEd, PGCE Level 7, PGCHE, NVQ Level 3 Assessor, MA in Higher Education Leadership and high qualification in Organisational Coach Consultant in Teacher Training and a renowned Development Academic Staff Development Consultant.<\/p>\n

Last year, Professor designate Dube was awarded the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the just-ended 13th African Achievers\u2019 Awards held at the House of Lords, London, the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The AAA organisers have in the past consistently honoured great African Achievers from African Leaders, Young Achievers, Community Builders to Captains of Industries across the continent.<\/p>\n

The Awards ceremony undeniably became established as one of the biggest gatherings of influential and global African Achievers on the continent.<\/p>\n

This awards ceremony has in the past been rated by FORBES Magazine as one of the most prestigious award Ceremonies on the African continent.<\/p>\n

Dr Dube was presented with the Global Corporate Leadership award in recognition of her philanthropy and real estate business.<\/p>\n

The award was presented by former President of Mauritius, Ameenah Firdaus Gurib-Fakim.<\/p>\n

In a media statement, Dube accepted the award, saying she dedicated it to her employees and those who have supported her in her endeavours. She said:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really a privilege to be part of this whole grand ceremony, witnessing the procession leading to the Queen\u2019s burial and having the chance to lay a wreath in memory of the Queen. I dedicate the award to my employees and everyone who has supported us in this journey:<\/p>\n

Meeting the Deputy Speaker of Hackney, Anya Sizer and putting my signature in the official condolence book for the Queen was really an experience.<\/p>\n

Dube is the River Valley Properties Chief Executive Officer and her company is into property development across cities and towns in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

She again excelled at the Women\u2019s Business and Leadership Awards held at the Meikles Hotel in Harare early this year where she scooped three prizes.<\/p>\n

She won the Lifetime Achievement Awards, Philanthropist of the Year and Philanthropic Organisation of the Year gongs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, while in London, Dr Dube took time to pay her respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II and attended her historic funeral.<\/p>\n
