The yearly highlight of the ZNCC Annual Congress (#ZNCCCongress) is the National (Business) Awards Dinner. This year’s event has just ended today (Thursday 29th June 2017) in the Kalala Conference Room of the Elephant Hills Hotel. The conversation with some of the delegates here from the beginning of the congress showed me that the awards dinner is what really matters.
The event started with the inauguration of the new National Executive Committee of the ZNCC led by Divine Ndlukula. We all know her as the Founder and Managing Director of Securico. I guess that makes her and the rest of the new leadership the first winners tonight. Congratulations Divine and your team. Now let’s go into the awards…

Great write up. You mispelt Masamvu his name is Luke Phibion Masamvu. The surname is the Manyika version of the fruit of Gymnosporia senegalensis. Used to love those little things.
Sorry actually the tree is ficus birke. Looks like little figs.
Thanks Gari. Fixed
