The road to the Miss Intercontinental crown is paved with more than just elegance; it requires substance, leadership, and a deep-rooted connection to one’s heritage. Representing the “House of Stone” this year is Rumbidzai Muzopa, a woman whose multifaceted career and passion for advocacy make her a formidable contender on the international stage.
At 29, Rumbidzai is not just a beauty queen—she is a glass-ceiling breaker and a proud ambassador of Zimbabwean excellence.
Rumbidzai’s professional life is a testament to her versatility and drive. By day, she is a Real Estate Consultant, navigating the complexities of property and development with a Bachelor’s Honours Degree in Real Estate and a Diploma in Business Management.
However, her leadership extends onto the court. As the Team Manager for JBC Men’s Basketball Club, she has helped lead the team to a ranking among the Top 16 clubs in Africa’s Club Championships. Thriving in these male-dominated environments has not only sharpened her leadership skills but has also given her a powerful platform to advocate for gender equality.
”Empowering women is not just progress; it is the blueprint for sustainable national and global development.” — Rumbidzai Muzopa
Advocacy: Breaking Barriers for Women
With women making up over 50% of Zimbabwe’s population, Rumbidzai believes that representation in politics, corporate leadership, and local communities is non-negotiable. Her platform focuses on:
- Corporate Leadership: Encouraging women to take up space in executive roles.
- Political Representation: Advocating for the female voice in national decision-making.
- Breaking Barriers: Using her own journey to prove that no industry is “off-limits” for women.
Beyond the boardroom and the basketball court, Rumbidzai is fueled by the spirit of Ubuntu—the African philosophy that translates to “I am because we are.” She carries Zimbabwe’s history of resilience and independence with deep pride. To Rumbidzai, the Miss Intercontinental stage is a bridge to connect continents, celebrating diversity while inspiring a global sense of unity.
