The awards are held as a means of encouraging creativity and excellence in the arts industry. They also provide an opportunity for artistes to market and publicise the artworks locally, regionally and internationally.
This year’s edition was held under the theme Unite, Excite and Educate Zimbabwe on its proud heritage and diversity through arts and culture. For an artiste to be nominated for this year’s awards, their work should have been created between December 1, 2012 and November 30, 2013.However, many observers believe that some of the nominees did not excel in the period under review and obviously casting doubt the awards being a true reflection of the industry at the moment.
As the awards proceeded we could not help but notice that our own comedian David Mubaiwa "Sabhuku Vharazipi" was missing in action.Mubaiwa is the man who plays the role of Sabhuku Vharazipi in the hilarious drama Sabhuku Vharazipi, whose comic acts have reached a level of transforming people’s lives, especially those who are in rural areas.
