The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize was Dr Wangari Maathai. She died recently. Her name is correctly pronounced as one-garry (rhymes with starry) ma-thy (old English 'thy'). In Hindi this would read as वंगारी मादाइ. The 'द' sound is very soft and closer to 'z'. You can catch the exact pronunciation as pronounced by a native Swahili speaker here. You can also learn something interesting about her. Amazing woman!
