After a three-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australia edition of the Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) is back for its fourth season, boasting a remarkable list of nominees across 12 carefully chosen categories.
The organizers have officially launched the online voting process, and the grand awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on November 11, 2023, at the luxurious Hilton Hotel in Sydney.
ZAA Australia's primary mission is to recognize and celebrate Zimbabwean change-makers living in the diaspora who have not only defied the odds but have also excelled in their respective fields.
In 2023, the awards are proudly sponsored by Frontier Wealth Group, a company specializing in financial planning, mortgage brokering, property investments, and a range of other initiatives aimed at creating and managing wealth.
Method Mukundu, the Country Director of ZAA Australia, expressed his enthusiasm for the return of the awards after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He reiterated the organization's commitment to acknowledging, celebrating, and honoring outstanding contributions from individuals and organizations that continue to make a positive impact in the world.
Furthermore, he welcomed Frontier Wealth Group as a partner, emphasizing their role in fostering networking and unlocking the potential of the leading change-makers within the Zimbabwean diaspora.
Frontier Wealth Group's CEO, Stephen Mandigora, highlighted the pivotal role played by ZAA Australia in engaging the diaspora and serving as a platform for networking among Zimbabweans living abroad. He expressed his firm's commitment to inspiring and guiding individuals towards achieving financial freedom and developing wealth accumulation strategies, aligning with ZAA's vision.
Founded in 2010 by Conrad Mwanza, ZAA has expanded its network across all continents, becoming a global platform for celebrating excellence within the Zimbabwean community.
For those interested in participating, the ZAA Australia voting platform is now open at www.zimachievers.org and will remain accessible until October 22, 2023, before the Awards Dinner Gala takes place.
