The 6th Edition of the Zimbabwe ICT Achievers Awards were held last night at Rainbow Towers Hotel at a function that saw ZOL Zimbabwe CEO Denny Marandure being named the Top ICT Business Person of the Year.
ZOL Zimbabwe were also named the 1st Runners Up for Top ICT Company of the Year while their parent company Liquid Telecoms were also awarded two awards as 1st Runners Up for Project of the Year and 1st Runners Up for Top ICT Website of the Year.
Every year, the Ministry of ICT, Postal and Courier Services host the ICT Achievers Awards. These awards are held to acknowledge the efforts of individuals and organisations who have excelled, been innovative and have contributed to the ICT Sector. The ministry calls for nominations which are done via a website set up for the awards ictachieversawards.org.zw. An adjudication panel (apparently of adjudicators that don’t know each other) then go through the submissions to select the winner. This year, Ernst and Young were the official auditors for the awards.
