Jah Master and Holy Ten shine at ZIMAs

Zimdancehall chanter Jah Master pushed all negativity aside and knocked down all competition as he scooped three wards at this year’s edition of the annual PPC Zimbabwe-sponsored Zimbabwe Music Awards 2021 (Zima) ceremony which was hosted virtually on Saturday the 21st of February 2021 at Newlands Country Club in Harare.

The rising Zimdancehall sensation, who attracted bad publicity after he kicked a fan off stage in Chinhoyi last year, continues to hog the limelight as his smash song Hello Mwari, appears to have been answered generously.

Jah Master dominated the list of the nominees with four nominations, alongside fellow chanters Poptain and Nutty O.

He scooped the Best Zimdancehall gong, Best Male and Song of the Year (Hello Mwari) awards respectively.

 

Also not to be outdone was fellow newcomer and rising Hip Hop star Holy Ten, who bagged two gongs.

Holy Ten took home the Best Hip-hop and Best Newcomer gongs.

Seasoned Gospel songstress Janet Manyowa scooped the Best Album of The Year (Sounds of Victory) and Best Female gongs.

The awards spokesperson, Benjamin Nyandoro is quoted as having said that ZIMA2021 is a reflection of the great work.

“Congratulations to those who released musical material in 2020. It was a different year. ZIMA2021 is a reflection of the great work. We are all winners. The desire and spirit to do more is more important. Our all-weather friend, PPC, thank you,” he said.
