Specioza Kazibwe

Speciosa Naigaga Wandira Kazibwe (born 1 July 1954), is a Ugandan politician and first female vice president in Africa.

[1] She was the sixth vice president of Uganda from 1994 to 2003, making her the first woman in Africa to hold the position of vice-president of a sovereign nation.

She attended Mount Saint Mary's College Namagunga, a prestigious all-female boarding high school affiliated with the Catholic Church, located on the Kampala-Jinja Highway, near the town of Lugazi.

From 1994 until 2003, Speciosa[5] Kazibwe served as Uganda's Vice President and as Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries.

Her husband opposed the divorce, citing his Catholic faith, and saying that his wife had come home late without giving a proper explanation, and had joined with some other politicians he did not like.

[7] Finding it difficult to perform her political duties and deal with the increasingly messy divorce case, on Wednesday, 21 May 2003, Kazibwe stepped down from her positions in government, asking to be allowed to continue her studies.
