MASVINGO – Masvingo Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa continues to expand his portfolio of recognition, most recently being named first runner-up for Business Leader of the Year at the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce awards.
The latest honor adds to an impressive collection of accolades that cement his status as one of Zimbabwe’s most distinguished public administrators.
Masvingo City Council won the Sustainable Development Goals award at the same event while Magolide Omuhle Foundation while Happy Nest scooped the second runner up position.
The business leadership recognition comes after several awards he won last year including the Overall Outstanding Local Authority Leader (Super Platinum winner) at the Doyens of Local Authorities Awards 2024.
His second-place finish in the business category places him behind prominent Masvingo businessman Noah Marima, who secured the top honor.
The consistent pattern of excellence has become characteristic of Mukaratirwa’s career, evidenced by previous national honors including last year’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Award for the Best Town Clerk in Zimbabwe and the 2024 Best Manager of the Year award from the ZNCC.
In 2024 Masvingo City was also crowned the Best Customer Centred Organisation.
