<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Music_Awards">ZIMA (Zimbabwe Music Awards)</a> has decided to change its MO and establish a permanent office, hire staff and run programs throughout the year before the national big event, the Sunday Mail reports.
ZIMA is also aiming to attract permanent sponsors and has already delegated roles to its new staff abolishing the one-man show they previously held in the past years.
Speaking about the recent changes, ZIMA CEO, Nyadzayo gushed about their new system when he said:
<blockquote>Zimbabwe needs Zima to happen every year. We struggled in the past, maybe because of how we had configured it (Zima). I’m repeating something I have probably said before, but I think we have done it right this time.</blockquote>
ZIMA took its first hiatus in 2007 and only made a comeback in 2014 before disappearing again in 2016 due to a number of reasons.

ZIMA In A Complete Overhaul Exercise

While some are celebrating the return of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Music_Awards">Zimbabwe Music Awards (ZIMA)</a> some artists had a very bad experience with ZIMA and expressed their concern about the event organisers not giving them their awards.
An artist that spoke to the Chronicle, Nomathamsanqa Nkwali Mkhwananzi who won an award for best acapella album in 2016, said she has not yet been presented with her award since 2016:
<blockquote>While such awards to recognise artists are welcome, it is important for organisers to be professional in their conduct. I had a bad experience with the last Zima because DJ Skaiva and me won awards but we are yet to receive the awards.</blockquote>
ZIMA announced their comeback early this week after having vanished off the arena for 3 years. ZIMA 2020 will be held on 25 January, nominations will open on 11 November to 31 December 2019.
