We got in touch with Moyo to discuss the GTB Forty under Forty recognition. He had to this to say:

The award was a great honor and great testimony to positive outcome one gets when you work hard, focus on delivering the numbers, growing people in different organisations. Zimbabwean managers are some of the highest rated managers in Africa and Middle East mostly due to their high ethics, dedication, commitment and a culture of delivery to promise. I feel such an international award is one of the ways we as Zimbabweans can celebrate these accolades we receive beyond our borders
