New broom: Kenewendo has bounced back to Cabinet PIC: KENNEDY RMAOKONE

The last woman to lead the Ministry of Minerals and Energy was Dr Gaositwe Chiepe back in 1972. On Thursday morning, Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, was announced as the second woman to lead to portfolio. SHARON MATHALA caught up with the youthful Minister as she bounced back to Cabinet after five years
