AFRICAN Food Revolution has congratulated its director and co-founder, Makhosi Godonga Mahlangu, after he received recognition at the third edition of The List Awards by Identities Media.
Mahlangu received a Certificate of Impact in the Poverty Alleviation Impact Award category on November 6, 2026, in recognition of her contribution to initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods through food-based entrepreneurship and community empowerment.
In a congratulatory statement, African Food Revolution said the recognition reflected the work being done by women farmers and young entrepreneurs in different communities.
“For us at African Food Revolution, this recognition brings to mind the people we work alongside every day. We think of the women growing chilli and aromatic herbs in Lupane and Victoria Falls, and the young entrepreneurs at Isiziba Youth Innovation Hub in Bulawayo learning how to turn locally grown produce into products they can sell.
“Their work shows how local food knowledge can create new ways for families to earn a living,” reads part of the statement.
The organisation also commended Mahlangu for championing Zimbabwe’s indigenous foods and creating opportunities for women farmers and young food entrepreneurs.
“To Mahlangu, thank you for championing Zimbabwe’s indigenous foods and for helping create opportunities for women farmers and young food entrepreneurs. We’re proud to celebrate this moment with you, our team, our partners and the communities who make this work possible,” reads the statement.
The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to promoting indigenous food systems under its guiding message, “Our Food, Our Heritage, Our Future.”
