Early life and education
Muchena studied at Iowa State University and graduated with a PhD in agriculture and minors in social change and technology.[3] During the late 1970s she was a faculty member at the University of Rhodesia.[4] When Muchena started her career at the University of Zimbabwe in 1983, she held the positions of Deputy Dean and Senior Lecturer. When her position as Deputy Dean ended in 1985, she remained as a lecturer until 1995.[5]
Politics
Muchena had served in various positions in the Zimbabwe government including in the Office of the Vice President and the Ministry of Agriculture.[5] During her position in the Ministry of Agriculture, she was involved in Zimbabwe's land reform process.[6] When the ZANU-PF–MDC national unity government was sworn in on February 13, 2009, Muchena became Minister of Women's Affairs.[7]
In June 2015, Muchena lost her seat in the Senate of Zimbabwe after the ZANU-PF ousted her out for supporting Joice Mujuru, who was formerly the Vice-President of Zimbabwe.[8]
Literature
She contributed the piece "It can only be handled by women" to the 1984 anthology Sisterhood Is Global: The International Women's Movement Anthology, edited by Robin Morgan.[9]
Achievements
Muchena has received multiple awards including a scholarship from the Africa-America Institute and a fellowship from Kellogg International.[5]
