Broadcaster, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, has revealed how she got her name, Mama Zimbi.
She said her South African friend gave her the name because of her fashion sense.

When asked whether the name does not seem complicated to her listeners, she stated that “the name is lovely to pronounce especially when it is pronounced well trust me it sounds good because it rhymes.”
