Chipo Matimba, a tailor’s daughter, rose to become the first female Airforce of Zimbabwe pilot. On one occasion, she even survived engine failure and a freak crash.
"If girls were meant to fly, God would have painted the skies pink.”
These were the first words Chipo Matimba heard from a male colleague when she reached for the skies 22 years ago.
How the first female Airforce of Zimbabwe pilot soared 30,000 feet above her humble home in Harare’s Belvedere suburbs is one of the great stories of Africa.
