Zim Now journalist Munyaradzi Doma won second prize in the National AIDS Council Media Awards in the online category.

Reflecting on his achievement, Doma said: “I feel really happy and humbled to have been awarded by the National AIDS Council Media Awards. Representing my country, people living with AIDS, and the broader community is something that truly honours me.

“I’m glad that my work has been appreciated by the National AIDS Council. I’m proud to play my part as a journalist in raising awareness about HIV and AIDS issues. To my fellow colleagues who also won awards, I say congratulations.

Other Zimbabwean journalists recognised by the NAC include Brenna Matendere, who won first place, and Daphne Machiri, who secured third place in the online category for their consistent and accurate reporting on HIV and AIDS issues.

Doma added that this award is a reflection of Zim Now’s excellence, as the media house competes with long-established outlets.
