How does the Speaker address Auxillia Mnangagwa in Parliament now?

Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda today asked a very rhetorical but pertinent question when Zimbabwe’s First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa who is a Member of Parliament for Chirumanzu-Zibagwe stood up in the House while he was speaking

“How do I address you now?” he asked amid laughter from the Members, but the question was left unanswered.

Auxillia Mnangagwa, who took over the seat from her husband through a by-election when Emmerson Mnangagwa was appointed Vice-President in 2014, has said that she is keeping her seat despite the fact that her husband is now the President.
