Just like the legends we honour this year, they continue to inspire and make us proud to be Zimbabwean through their art and majesty,”
NAMA executive director and producer, Napoleon Nyanhi, also added saying, “One of the NAMA mandates is to expose Zimbabwean talent to the world and this Big Diaspora Collaboration serves to herald Zimbabwe’s dominance beyond our borders.
