making sure she had everything she
needed. Everyone who knows Sicelo
Dube knows that she talks of many
mothers and many fathers because
she was raised by the community and

help because she was raised by a lot
of people she did not know. “When
all is said and done, let’s help those
that are in need. It makes the world
go round,” is how she sums it all up.
Uratile: Miss Dube, you are
popularly known as the ‘STEM
LADY’. Tell us a bit more about
what you do?
Sicelo: My passion in life runs around
this acronym and I make sure most
of the activities I do are centred on
Science innovation. It is my dream to
see a Zimbabwe that embraces science
innovation as the leading centre for
innovations and science discoveries
in Africa and the world at large and I
believe we can achieve this. I am very
passionate about helping young girls
attain education. My work and ideas
are driven by my love for science &
technology and as well as the potential
to greatly improve the livelihood of
the communities in Africa.
Uratile: If you were to describe
yourself in one word what would it
be and why?
Sicelo: Determined. This is because
when I set a goal, I make sure I do
everything I can to make it a reality.
