“Our partnership seeks to market Zimbabwe abroad, while raising money for the FOZ charity drive called “My Brother’s Keeper”. “The charity project is currently fundraising for the long-term funding of underprivileged Zimbabwean children,” said GTel marketing director Robert Gonye.
During the final, local musicians who include Ammara Brown, Nox, Stunner, Ex Q and Sulumani Chimbetu will provide entertainment.
Gonye added that a unique feature of the competition was its engagement with the public who voted for the monthly finalists. The public will take part in voting for the final winner.
Former FOZ winners include Michelle Gonah, Kimberly Cole and the reigning queen, Sibo Bero, who is a medical student in China.
