1931

Sarah Francesca Mugabe (née Hayfron; 6 June 1931 – 27 January 1992) was the first wife of Robert Mugabe and the First Lady of Zimbabwe from 1987 until her death in 1992.

Born Sarah Francesca Hayfron in 1931 in the Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), then a British colony.

Sally and her twin sister, Esther were raised in a political family which was part of the growing nationalist politics in the colonial Gold Coast.

She went to Achimota School, then went on to university to study before qualifying as a teacher.

1960

This was a charity founded in 1960.

1961

She met her future husband, Robert Mugabe, in the Gold Coast at Takoradi Teacher Training College where they were both teaching, and went with him to Southern Rhodesia, where they were married in April 1961 in Salisbury.

1962

A trained teacher who asserted her position as an independent political activist and campaigner, Hayfron demonstrated this activism as early as 1962 when she was active in mobilising African women to challenge the Southern Rhodesian constitution.

She was charged with sedition and sentenced to five years imprisonment.

Part of the sentence was suspended.

1963

Their only son, Nhamodzenyika, who was born in 1963 during this period of detention and imprisonment, would succumb to a severe attack of malaria and die in Ghana in 1966.

Mugabe was prevented from attending the burial of his son.

In 1967, Sally went into exile in London, and resided in Ealing, West London; her stay in Britain was financed, at least in part, by the British Ariel Foundation.

1970

Her father died in 1970.

The British Home Office attempted to deport her in 1970, but after her husband, still in prison, petitioned the British Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, she was given British residency.

Her case for residency was supported by two British Government ministers in particular: Labour MP Maurice Foley, and the Conservative peer Lord Lothian.

1975

With Robert Mugabe's release in 1975 and subsequent departure for Mozambique with Edgar Tekere, Sally rejoined her husband in Maputo.

Here, she cast herself in the new role of a mother figure to the thousands of refugees created by the Rhodesian Bush War.

1978

In 1978, she was elected ZANU-PF Deputy Secretary for the Women's League.

1980

In 1980 she had to make a quick adjustment to a new and national role of the wife of Zimbabwe's first black Prime Minister.

1986

2002

In 2002, to mark the 10th anniversary of her death, Zimbabwe issued a set of five postage stamps of a common design using two different photographs, each photograph appearing on two of the denominations.

She is remembered fondly with love and affection, as she is still considered the founding mother of the nation of Zimbabwe.
