“It is always humbling and inspiring to see the impact Africans are making around the world and we are calling for voting on the African diaspora community in the United Kingdom.” He said.
“We are running under the theme Diaspora; Africa’s secret weapon in a bid to acknowledge and embrace the power of our international communities on change-making missions.”
The early bird tickets to the high-powered social and business networking event are going for £90 before the 31st of October and will be going for £120 from the 1st of November.
THE G.A.A is an international organisation that recognises high achievement and positive contributions by Africans around the world. The G.A.A creates a platform for collaboration among global players and emerging enterprises as well as arts, sports and innovation, among other disciplines.
Attended by various leaders from diplomatic, business and social sectors, G.A.A has been hailed as one of the progressive movements in the last decade.
Conversely, The Southern African Times has been nominated in this year’s edition under the theme “Media House of the Year”. In a statement, Chief Executive Officer Farai Muvuti thanked SAT’s readership for the nomination and thanked the organisers of the event. “We accept this nomination with deep humility to our readership and hope that we can celebrate the night with a win. However, we do acknowledge that we are in the company of great media houses whose vision of Africa is similar to ours. Irrespective of who wins that night Africa will be better served regardless” he said.
“However, if our readers and friends find us befitting to win this esteemed award then the call to action is simple. They must simply go onto the G.A.A website (https://globalafrican.co/vote/) and vote for The Southern African Times.”
