British Labour MP Dawn Butler has pulled out of the upcoming First Ladies of African Impact & Resilience (FLAIR) Summit in London after learning she was scheduled to appear alongside Zimbabwe’s First Lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa.Zimbabwean wine guide
Mnangagwa is currently under U.S. sanctions, having been designated by the U.S. Treasury Department in March 2024 under the Global Magnitsky Act, which targets individuals accused of corruption or human rights violations.
The First Lady’s inclusion in the summit, scheduled for 17–18 June at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London, has drawn criticism from some Zimbabwean activists in the UK.
They have questioned her role in the event, citing allegations made in an Al Jazeera investigation titled Gold Mafia, which linked her to alleged gold and diamond smuggling networks.
The summit aims to promote female leadership and investment across Africa, but Mnangagwa’s participation has sparked controversy, with activists accusing her of undermining the very values the event seeks to celebrate. Some have announced plans to protest outside the venue.
Butler’s withdrawal has also led to questions over the involvement of other British politicians listed as participants, including Labour MP Diane Abbott and Conservative peer Baroness Sandip Verma. Neither has publicly commented on the matter so far. In a statement, Butler’s office said:
We have never agreed to speaking at this event, so are rightly concerned that Dawn is being advertised as a speaker at this summit.
We have contacted the organisers and asked them to remove her name from their programme immediately.
