Graça Machel, the widow of South Africa's ex-President Nelson Mandela, is on the cover of this month's Forbes Africa as the magazine prepares to announce its list of the continent's 50 most powerful women.
A prominent child rights campaigner, the 74-year-old was also once married to Samora Michel, the first president of Mozambique.
"People say I am powerful but I care more about being impactful," she says on a quote on the cover.
