The Zimbabwean who lured billionaire, Aliko Dangote to Zimbabwe says she fasted for two weeks.

Ms Josey Agbeniyi, nee Mahachi, said : “We fasted and prayed for two weeks for Mr Dangote to set his feet in Zimbabwe. It was a white fast and we would break at 6pm and eat fruits.”

The 32-year-old businesswoman sasid she was a prayer warrior.

“I was not born a businesswoman or a TV presenter. I did not even know l would manage to convince Mr Dangote to visit Zimbabwe to look for investment opportunities, but l made a choice and went for it,” she told

The Sunday Mail.

“Sadly, almost every successful woman has been labeled all sorts of names. I have heard people say that ‘she slept her way to the top’ whenever a woman succeeds. Society needs to let go of this notion,” she

said. “What many people do not know is that l work with my husband (Mr Jide Agbeniy) and we do everything together."
