The concept is only the beginning. Behind every seamless big event such as NAMA, is a vision that balances precision with creativity. Meet one of our Directors for the Event Managers of NAMA24, Mr Reginald Matinanga. From the first sketch to the final standing ovation to the architecture of the entire experience, it’s all about the details.

The stage was set, the talent was unmatched, and the hydration was ZLG! 🇿🇼 From boardrooms, to the rehearsals from rehearsal to the performance.

#StayHydratedStayZLG

We had a blast celebrating the heartbeat of Zimbabwean culture at this year’s NAMA. From the red carpet to the big wins, ZLG was there to keep the energy high and the performers refreshed.

Which performance was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
