Remember Deketeke-Herald Reporter

BUSINESS leaders who have made significant contributions across various economic sectors were celebrated at the Business Connect Iconics, Pacesetters and Legends Awards in Harare last night. 

The event recognised individuals whose exceptional efforts have notably impacted the business landscape.

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Dr Jenfan Muswere, who was represented by the director of Media Services in his Ministry, Mr George Chisoko, said the awards highlight individuals who possess a unique vision, enabling them to identify opportunities where others might not see them.

โ€œThe celebrations are not merely ceremonial. They highlight the vibrancy of extraordinary individuals, SMEs and corporations that inspire one another to tackle issues such as unemployment, substance and drug abuse and other societal challenges,โ€ said Dr Muswere.

โ€œIt is testimony that we have stakeholders who are willing to join hands with us in organising, telling what is being done by individuals to ensure a better future for Zimbabweans.

โ€œThese are the people we are talking about tonight. These are people who also thrive in an environment that is volatile, an environment that is uncertain, complex and ambiguous.โ€

Dr Muswere said as pacesetters, the leaders have exemplified tremendous commitment to their duties, while inspiring the next generation of leaders.

He then hailed The Business Connect for its dual role as a watchdog and platform for disseminating developmental news across social, economic and academic realms.

Some of the people that were honoured last night include Mr Phillips Zengeya, founder and director of Moushtec Steel and Fire Places, who received a Business Legend Award. 

He expressed heartfelt gratitude to his wife for her unwavering support throughout his career since the firmโ€™s inception in 2002.

Mrs Phillipa Gomo, Zimpapers advertising manager, was awarded the Iconic Business Leader Award. 

With over 40 years experience in the media industry, she shared her belief in hard work, intelligence, and innovation as keys to success for youths.

โ€œI am an icon and pacesetter in the industry. My advice to all the young people is that you really have to work hard, be intelligent, and innovative,โ€ she said.

Ambassador Kwame Muzavazi, CEO of the Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK), was also recognised. 

Public relations manager of the Museum of African Liberation, Mr Joseph Nkani, accepted the award on Ambassador Muzavaziโ€™s behalf, and spoke about the importance of their work in preserving information.
