100 Most Influential Zimbabweans under 40 in 2016

The annual Gorindemabwe Frontier 100 Most Influential Zimbabweans under 40 list is out #ThisFlag founder Evan Mawarire is the pinnacle this year.

Mawarire made waves this year when he led a citizens’ social media movement that resulted in his arrest and then subsequent self-exile to the United States of America.

If you’re wondering why the usual suspects, the religious leaders are missing, the Frontier says it is because they have been promoted to a ‘Hall of Fame’.
