It is an initiative, which has for almost a decade, brought the Zimbabwean community together and, through it we have celebrated, networked and grown in our respective businesses."

"We are committed to supporting community initiatives like ZAA because it brings the community together and gives a sense of purpose. Our aim is to continue to develop that community spirit," she added.

Executive Director for DFCP, Dr Sibert Mandega welcomed the partnership and said he looked forward to a promising journey with the organisation.

Mandega said that the organisation is committed to supporting, engaging, building and being a source to the community in the diaspora.
