Former UK Big Brother house mate, Makosi Musambasi has been listed among the nominees set to be appointed in the Zimbabwe Youth Council board.
Makosi is among a list of 50 nominees who include youthful businessperson Chamu Chiwanza and Chicken Slice founder Tawanda Mutyebere.
Prominent lawyer Farai Mtamangira and Miss Zimbabwe Trust chair Marry Chiwenga are also listed.
In a statement released this week, the minister of Youth Development, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Francis Nhema called on members of the general public to vote for their preferred candidates from the availed list of nominees.
The final list will be published on November 30 after a voting process.
"Members of the public must feel free to nominate and vote for people who might even be outside of this list.
"We want to be as inclusive and as transparent as possible.
"Our different considerations include character, influence and loyalty to the nation. Please note that candidates should be 40 years and below but voting is open to Zimbabweans of all ages.
"Votes can be sent via Whatsapp platform number 0774 703 220," reads part of the statement.
Makosi has been recognised for her philanthropic works through her trust organisation, Sisters' Keepers.
Through the organisation, she has donated sanitaryware to female victims of the Tokwe–Mukosi disaster.
She has also used her television show to push her agenda of women empowerment.
Makosi could not be contacted for comment this week as she is said to be out of the country where she is filming the third season of her talk show which recently made it to Vox Africa — the first Pan African television channel that airs in the United Kingdom.
