IN the last issue of The Patriot, we featured one Emily Hawgood, daughter to Beatrice farmer Stoff Hawgood.
She is currently in the United States and representing Zimbabwe in Triathlon and scooping numerous awards.
Emily is a rising star, another Kirsty Coventry in the making because unlike other people, she is proud to be Zimbabwean.
What a difference she makes!
