Mister Africa International Zimbabwe is gearing up for the 12th edition of the Mister Africa International pageant to be held in Sierra Leone this December.
Zimbabwe’s delegate to the Mister Africa International 2024 competition is Future Nyoni, the reigning Mister Africa International first runner-up from 2023.
Mr. Nyoni is not a newcomer to the competition, as he represented the country last year during the virtual competition and excelled, being crowned the first runner-up of Mister Africa International.
Rickie Osaze from Nigeria currently holds the prestigious title of Mister Africa International, succeeding Mathieu Bibasso of Côte d’Ivoire, who made history as the first French-speaking winner of the competition. Rickie triumphed over contestants from 29 other nations to claim the crown.
Since its inception in 2012 at the African Center in London, the Mister Africa International pageant has evolved into a vital platform for male models across Africa and its diaspora.
It offers them the invaluable opportunity to serve as ambassadors for the initiative, which is dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship in Africa through education and innovation.
Over the years, the competition has welcomed representatives from more than 40 countries, gracing iconic cities such as London (UK), Luanda (Angola), Ibadan (Nigeria), Lagos (Nigeria), and Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire).
PROFILE OF THE MODEL: FUTURE NYONI
Future Nyoni, born in Hwange and now based in the majestic town of Victoria Falls, is married and a father of one.
