Following the successful shortlisting of nominations a fortnight ago, the ZAA awards committee is inviting the public from all over the world to take part in the decisive voting stage for their favourite Zimbabwean highflier in the past 12 months.
Conrad Mwanza, the ZAA director said: “We are inching one step closer to that exciting night. Voting has now opened on our website, zimachievers.com and we are encouraging everyone to vote once per nominee. The voting process is open to anyone who would like to cast their ballots for those nominated; this can be friends, fans, family members, colleagues, fellow peer group members – or anyone who feels that a specific nominee deserves recognition as a member of the elite Zimbabwe Achievers group for 2012.
