Megafest honours business leaders

- BY OWN CORRESPOND­ENT

OutstaNdiN­g leaders in various spheres of business were honoured at the recently held 2021 Megafest Leadership awards. the Megafest Leadership awards, which are in their 13th year, followed a selection process in which nomination­s were drawn from various organisati­ons across the country and subjected to a rigorous adjudicati­on process.

the awards recognise, develop and promote leadership at all business levels.

they are part of the many awards (which include the popular business awards) that were introduced by Megafest chief executive tafadzwa Matsika and are supported through donations and sponsorshi­p.

since then several well-known leaders, managers and corporates in Zimbabwe have been recipients of the premier and prestigiou­s Megafest awards.

the winners would have made outstandin­g contributi­on to the developmen­t of the Zimbabwean economy through sterling leadership in their respective spheres of influence.

the overall vision is to recognise high standards, service excellence and developmen­t within the Zimbabwean economy.

these awards are meant to recognise and honour luminaries of the Zimbabwean industry as a whole, for their outstandin­g contributi­on, exceptiona­l efforts and achievemen­ts in their respective fields.

there is no doubt that over the years, competitio­n stimulated by the Megafest awards has strengthen­ed profession­al business management and upgrading of services in the whole country, as individual­s and companies try to outwit each other.

For this year, some of the platinum winners included associated Foods’ simba Nyabadza, who was honoured for being a leader in milling and food production.

Ken sharpe walked away with the gong for the real estate industry while Booties’ daisy Chavunduka was crowned pharmaceut­ical leader.

sugar Chagonda also got a platinum for leading in public relations and corporate affairs.

For the beauty and spa sector, Lucy Memory Moyo shrugged off stiff competitio­n to grab the coveted prize.

in advertisin­g, Victor shambare led the pack and tandiwe Mapolisa was recognised as an oustanding woman of influence and leadership.
