ZAFAA positions for 2013

The organizers of ZAFAA Awards UK, are repositioning and rebranding for 2013 global outing, after last year’s postponement due to some logistic hiccups.

ZAFAA, in the words of its prime mover and founder, Sam Anwuzia, will continue to research into the development and promotion of African film industry in order to further strengthen it.

Anwuzia who spoke with ACTION!, during a recent visit to our Isolo, Okota, head office, stressed that ZAFAA will maintain and achieve these dreams through sacrifice and commitment, despite the many challenges confronting it.

“We are not going to give up until we see our dreams come through. Dreams can be shared but the dreamer knows how to actualise his/her dreams.

Costly mistakes were made in the past and we are hoping that we’ve learnt good lessons from

those mistakes. ZAFAA is the pride of African entertainment and must be taken away from

destroyers so that the industry stakeholders will then realise the importance of its uniqueness.

Anwuzia who disclosed that the award would hold at a yet-to-be disclosed venue in the heart of London this October, maintained that rewarding stars outside Africa, has made Nollywood films so popular that CNN, BBC and other international media and broadcasting houses are now creating more viewership and recognition for the industry.

 “These stars are our ambassadors and we are proud to showcase them. We cannot sell all our products at home. Sponsorship for ZAFAA Global Awards alongside the awareness are the things that brought me home. Soon, we’ll be calling for entries. I want to assure you that this year’s outing will be grand and memorable…”
