INTERNATIONAL awards brand Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) continues with its expansion drive as they are set to host their first ever ZAA Awards Dinner Gala in Scotland on April 15, Standard Style has learnt.
The ZAA Scotland edition opens the ZAA awards calendar, which is also highlighted by the inaugural United Arab Emirates edition set for later this year, joining the existing seven editions.
ZAA founder Conrad Mwanza told Standard Style that they were excited to introduce the Scotland and UAE editions on this year’s calendar as part of their efforts to recognise and celebrate all Zimbabwean achievers around the world.
“This latest development is the culmination of wide consultations with key players in the diaspora who are taking note of the impact Zimbabweans are making around the world.
“As has been the call from the beginning in 2010, ZAA aims to recognise, celebrate and award change makers for their achievements and build a collaborative platform for exchange of ideas and networking opportunities across multiple disciplines, “he said.
He said preparations for the event and other programs are progressing well.
