We Just Got Nominated | The ZIMA's 2016 Nominees List

Comrades, The Zimbabwe Music Awards recently announced the nominees for this year’s ZIMA’s at a press conference held at the Rainbow Towers in Harare.  To everyone’s surprise and possible dismay of others it has come to our attention that the 2 Broke Zimbos have been nominated, We are not sure if these are a cheap copycat outfit or it is indeed us and the judges just didn’t like the look of our original name. In any event we are truly grateful for the recognition and the love from the ZIMA’s.

Check out the full list of nominees below.  We are a little confused as to why Bob Marley is nominated for a lifetime award achievement at a Zimbabwean music Awards ceremony

The awards will be held mon the 25th of February at the Harare International Conference Centre at the Rainbow Towers.
