Zimdancehall Awards 2020: All the winners

The annual awards scheme was established to honour local artists whose music has had an impact.

Freeman was crowned the Best Male Artist, while Flex T & King Libo took home the Best Young Artist award. The Best Female Artist and Best Female Vocalist awards went to Queen Kadijah and Lindsay, respectively.

Guspy Warrior won the Best Male Vocalist and She Calaz triumphed in the Best Zim Reggae Artist category. Some categories have more than one winner.
