The 2021 PPC Zimbabwe Music Awards (ZIMA) ceremony took place last night with the awards being held virtually due to the Covid-19 lockdown regulations.
The event which was hosted by Rumbie, Ruvheneko and Arthur was initially supposed to take place on the 6th of February, had to be postponed by two weeks due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The event organisers were optimistic that the restrictions would be relaxed after the initial 30-day strict lockdown.
When the lockdown was extended by another 2 weeks, however, the organisers improvised and settled for a virtual ceremony instead of postponing the event again.
For the 2021 Zimbabwe Music Awards (ZIMA) ceremony, the organisers added a new category. In line with the ongoing global health issues, the organisers added the Best Covid-19 Awareness Song category.
