Zimbabwean-born and UK-based politician, Nicole Ndiweni has been officially elected as the new Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire, marking another significant milestone in her groundbreaking career.
Born in rural Karoi, Ndiweni’s journey to public office began in the UK, where she settled and pursued her education.
After earning a BA in Criminology and International Relations from the University of Lincoln, she dedicated herself to community work, helping women in crisis and advocating for survivors of domestic violence.
Ndiweni made history in 2015 when she was elected as the first black councillor for Hucknall on the Ashfield District Council.
She played a pivotal role in launching a pilot scheme in Ashfield to improve the quality of life for residents in socially-challenged areas and reduce the demand on council services.
The scheme demonstrated significant potential savings and positive outcomes for the community.
Ndiweni’s recent election as Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire further cements her reputation as a trailblazer in the UK.
Her diverse background and commitment to social justice have made her a respected figure in local politics.
