𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗢 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦: 𝗜𝗻𝗮𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗖𝗧𝗔 𝟮𝟬𝟮6 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗧𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲’𝘀 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆!

𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗢 — On Friday night, the lights will go up at the Urban Lifestyles Hotel. But for the trailblazers being honoured at the inaugural Masvingo Community Trailblazers Awards (MCTA) 2026, the real work started years ago in the fields, clinics, classrooms, and community halls across all seven districts of the province.

With just 48 hours to go, final preparations are underway for the VVIP gala dinner.

Organisers said that the event is far more than a celebratory evening—it is a strategic economic mapping exercise designed to profile the province’s leading economic actors.

The resulting data will be compiled into an authoritative Investor Digest and presented to the government to support the monitoring and tracking of the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2).

The high-profile event is endorsed by the Office of the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution and hosted by Perfection Media Pvt Ltd. The Minister of State, Hon. Ezra Chadzamira—who was recently honoured with the Presidential Best Overall Performance Award—will attend as the Guest of Honour.

Established in 2019, the Zim Community Trailblazers Awards (ZCTA) spent seven years operating as a Harare-based national event, celebrating grassroots champions including teachers, artistes, health workers, and farmers. This year marks a deliberate shift to a decentralized, provincial model.

Following successful rollouts in the Midlands, Mashonaland East, and Chitungwiza, Masvingo is the latest province to anchor this framework. Similar events are slated for Matabeleland South and Manicaland before the end of the year.

ZCTA Founder and CEO Albert Masaka explained that the structural shift was driven by the urgent need for verifiable data on community-level economic activity.

“We are moving far beyond the simple handing over of decorative trophies; this event is an active, verified operational framework. Our goal is to map the definitive footprint of regional success stories across all seven districts of Masvingo, creating a pristine economic database for NDS2 tracking.

”The resulting database will catalog entrepreneurs, businesses, and community leaders driving job creation, innovation, and local investment. The awards heavily align with the Second Republic’s devolution policy and the national philosophy, “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo” (the nation is built by its owners), which champions locally driven development.

Organisers selected Masvingo for this rollout due to its vibrant economic diversity across agriculture, tourism, mining, and micro-enterprises, coupled with the historic absence of a consolidated register of active provincial players.

The VVIP Gala Dinner will run from 18:00 hrs to 23:00 hrs this Friday at the Urban Lifestyles Hotel, under an ultra-formal dress code.

Confirmed dignitaries include the Mayor of Masvingo, Great Zimbabwe University Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. David Chikodzi, ZCTA Board Member and prominent medical practitioner Dr Johannes Marisa, prominent retailer Vengai Ushe, officials from the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (PRAZ), and master of ceremonies Nabeelah Jogee.

Nominations for the awards opened on 11 August, strictly targeting individuals and organisations that have demonstrated measurable socio-economic impact, resourcefulness, sustainability, and community mobilisation over the past 12 to 24 months.

As the countdown ticks down to Friday, organisers revealed that the event is nearly sold out, with only 20 public tickets remaining at $200 each. The strictly limited public allocation ensures priority seating for corporate, government, and development partners.

“Don’t hear about it tomorrow. Be in the room on Friday,” Masaka urged during a public address on Tuesday. “This is Masvingo opening for business.

”The evening will feature a glamorous red-carpet reception, the presentation of official citations to the finalists, and keynote addresses from top government and private-sector leaders. Following the regional tours, the provincial data will culminate in a consolidated national awards gala in February 2027 in Harare, yielding a master database for international investors, state agencies, and development partners.

“Zimbabwe’s development story is not only written in corporate boardrooms,” Masaka concluded. “It is written at dip tanks, in rural classrooms, in clinics, and in community halls. This process ensures those authors are formally documented.

”For last-minute bookings and final protocol enquiries, the public is advised to urgently contact the ZCTA Secretariat on 077 696 3414

MASVINGO — IN A major boost for grassroots development in the province, the Office of the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution has given the green light to Perfection Media Pvt Ltd to launch the inaugural Masvingo Community Trailblazers Awards (MCTA) 2026.
Far from a conventional glitz-and-glamour event, the initiative—which opens its public nomination window today—is designed as a practical, data-driven socio-economic audit to uncover local solutions to regional economic challenges, the organisers said.
The community-focused platform has secured high-level backing from the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Hon Ezra Chadzamira.
Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, Zim Community Trailblazers Awards (ZCTA) CEO and founder, Albert Masaka, said that the MCTA were aimed at addressing the critical need for sustainable institutional tracking in local communities.
“We are moving far beyond the simple handing over of decorative trophies, the MCTA 2026 is an active, verified operational framework.
“Our goal is to map the definitive footprint of regional success stories across all seven districts of Masvingo, creating a pristine economic database for National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2) tracking.”
By focusing on measurable outcomes, the awards aim to bring life to the Second Republic’s devolution mandate and the national philosophy, “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo” (A nation is built by its people), providing communities with a tangible framework to turn local milestones into empirical evidence of regional recovery
The ZCTA were established to recognise individuals and organisations driving meaningful transformation and community empowerment across the country,
They have evolved into a vital network celebrating localised, people-centered excellence across crucial pillars such as small-scale agriculture, sustainable mining, grassroots tourism, local manufacturing, community infrastructure, and dynamic women-led enterprises.
By identifying and profiling Masvingo’s 60 most impactful economic and social actors, the platform aims to directly connect grassroots innovators with global investors ahead of a VVIP Gala Dinner on Friday, 4 September 2026, at the Urban Lifestyles Hotel.
Building on successful blueprints executed in the Midlands, Mashonaland East, and Chitungwiza, Masaka said Masvingo's "Top 60" database will be compiled into a premium Post-Event Investor Digest.
“This data will be securely hosted on the ZCTA portal and officially handed over to the Permanent Secretary for Devolution, Prof. Addmore Pazvakavambwa, creating a permanent, accessible baseline to attract development and track investment inflows across the province's marginalised areas.
“To ensure maximum inclusivity and grassroots representation, all local residents, village collectives, and small business owners are urged to submit their nominations via the official ZCTA email before the final entry deadline on Monday, 24 August 2026.”

Breaking News!!!

*Linda Masarira, LEAD President and Outspoken Rights Advocate, Dies at 42

Linda Tsungirirai Masarira, founder and president of the Labour Economists and Afrikan Democrats , has died, her friend who is also a political activist Abigale Mupambi has confirmed.

The 42-year-old was one of Zimbabwe’s most visible voices on gender equality, youth inclusion, and constitutional reform. A former trade unionist and activist, she rose to national attention through arrests and protests in the 2010s before founding LEAD to push a labour-focused, pro-democracy agenda.

Her last major public intervention was LEAD’s submission on the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment No. 3 Bill, 2026. In it, she backed parliamentary election of the President only if paired with a proportional representation system, and opposed moves to place voter registration under the Registrar-General or scrap the Gender Commission and National Peace and Reconciliation Commission.

Masarira was also a member of POLAD and had served as MDC-T spokesperson. Political analysts say her death leaves LEAD without its founder and removes a distinct “pro-inclusion, pro-accountability” voice from the constitutional debate.

*MARONDERA – Mashonaland East is set to ignite into a beacon of light, fashion, and triumph as the second edition of the Dungwiza Community Trailblazers Awards (DCTA) descends upon the Hope Fay Hotel and Conference Centre on Friday, 29 May 2026.*
Forget the stiff formality of standard ceremonies. The DCTA is designed as a celebration where the grit of the streets meets the glamour of provincial success.
This is where Chitungwiza’s celebrated artists and sporting legends clink glasses with the agricultural and mining titans of Marondera.
According to the organisers, Perfection Media Pvt Ltd, the awards are a “strategic corridor” of excellence, a rare moment where the region’s most brilliant minds gather under one roof to rewrite the provincial narrative.
At the heart of this cultural movement is Albert Masaka, the visionary CEO whose passion for unearthing local heroes has become a national phenomenon. For Masaka, the 2026 edition is about more than just trophies; it is a regional revolution.
“This night is the ultimate stage for both the visible and invisible giants who carry our communities on their backs,” he said.
“By bringing the DCTA to Marondera, we are not just moving locations—we are expanding a legacy. We are proving that whether you are a tech-preneur in Chitungwiza or a visionary farmer in Mutoko, your brilliance deserves a standing ovation.”
The event has positioned itself as the province’s premier networking hub, where grassroots heroes rub shoulders with the elite, and business deals are sealed over champagne.
Masaka challenged residents and organisations in Chitungwiza and Mashonaland East to be part of the live experience rather than watching from the sidelines.
“Don’t wait for the highlights reel to trend on social media; be the highlight yourself,” he urged. “The road to excellence leads to Marondera this May. Will you be in the room when the trailblazers take flight?”
The evening’s entertainment is set to be a masterclass in local talent, aimed at bridging the gap between legendary heritage and modern urban fire.
However, the true soul of the night remains those breathtaking moments when a community leader, after decades of working in the shadows, finally walks into the spotlight to a deafening roar of approval.
From high-stakes Innovation and Tech awards to the prestigious Chairman’s Award for Lifetime Service, the emotional stakes are unparalleled.
“You won’t just be a spectator; you’ll be part of a collective surge of pride that can be felt in your very bones,” Masaka added.
“You cannot afford to miss this. When that curtain goes up on May 29, the energy will be transformative.”
