Other sponsors for the event include Care Quality Support, Diaspora Insurance, Seeff Properties Zimbabwe, EcoCash and Tengai Online.

Mwanza revealed that the ZAA added the health category to this year’s ceremony in recognition of the huge impact Zimbabweans are having in the health sector in the United Kingdom.

“We have seen a huge surge of health care businesses by successful Zimbabwean entrepreneurs in the UK and as the ZAA, we have seen it right to have a separate category acknowledging the efforts of Zimbabweans in the sector. This category is sponsored by Ultra Med Health Care,” Mwanza said.

Zim Achievers will be celebrating their 13th anniversary in the UK, which is their flagship edition.

Zim Achievers was founded in 2010 to honour and celebrate Zimbabwean changemakers around the world.
