Zimbabwean model Nobesuthu Vanessa, popularly known as Nessanobz, has been nominated for the prestigious Young Achievers Awards, an international recognition celebrating outstanding young talent across Africa.

The nomination marks a significant milestone in her modelling career, offering her a platform to represent Zimbabwe on a continental level. The awards ceremony is set to take place in Kigali, Rwanda, bringing together some of Africa’s most talented young individuals from various fields.

“I am what I am today because of their support. I just want to say I have come this far, and they should continue supporting and reposting—it takes a community,” she said.

Beyond personal achievement, Nessanobz sees this nomination as an opportunity to highlight Zimbabwe’s growing influence in the African fashion and modelling industry.

“Whether I make it to Kigali or not, my journey is already an inspiration to many aspiring models in Zimbabwe and beyond,” she said.

Her nomination serves as motivation for young talents in the industry, proving that with perseverance and support, Zimbabwean models can shine on the international stage.
