humility and gratitude to her legion of fans.

homage to her late mother as well.
“I’m super excited to have won this award as it has put
Zimbabwe on the map.
The love that Zimbabweans have shown me is overwhelming.
Some even called me to tell me that they voted and this is so humbling.
“Words cannot express fully, how I feel right now. I’m on
top of the world.”
The comedienne said she was shocked when organisers of the
awards broke the news to her yesterday ahead of the awards showcase next week.
