Wicknell, Bona, Simba Chikore nominated for Zimbabwe Models’ Awards

A long and interesting list of nominees for the 2016 installment of the Zimbabwe Models’ Awards (ZMA) has been released.

The list consists of some people who have made a huge difference in the fashion and modelling industry in Zimbabwe and others who are flaunters, posers and trendsetters.

On the list is Wicknell Chivayo in the category of Most Flamboyant Male, Simba and Bona Chikore in the category of Most Flamboyant Wedding and many more.

 Mercy Mushaninga, who founded the awards in 2015, told Zimbo Jam that compiling the list was as easy as it was fair.

“Anyone who nominated was limited to people that have contributed to the fashion and beauty industry. After the nominations, judges checked the portfolio of the nominees and that’s how the list came together,” said Mushaninga.

The grand finale will be on December 17, 2016 at Pabloz VIP in Borrowdale. Invited guests include the patron of Miss World Zimbabwe, Mrs Marry Chiwenga and the patron of Miss Tourism Zimbabwe, Mrs Barbara Mzembi.

The second edition of the awards will run under the theme ‘Celebrating the life of Kiki Divaris’, who for over 30 years was a mentor and patron for young Zimbabwean models and beauty pageant winners.

Below is the full list of nominees:
