THE proprietor of the Samuriwo Foundation and Samuriwo Pub and Grill in Luveve, Mr Brian Samuriwo, scooped two awards at the Bulawayo Business and Enterprenuers Hall of Fame held over the weekend at a local hotel.
The awards sought to recognise entrepreneurs and businesses for their outstanding contributions across various sectors.
Samuriwo Pub and Grill won the 2026 Township Tourism Award while Mr Samuriwo was recognised for being the Industry Icon of the Year.
The guest of honour at the awards was Deputy Minister for Local Government and Public Works Honourable Albert Mavunga.
Business development specialist Dr Nothando Moyo presided over the awards.
“I am honored to receive these awards. For me, awards are a reflection of the team’s hard work and the trust our customers place in us. We started this journey to solve problems for our people and to be recognized for that means a lot,” he said.
“This recognition is a fuel to keep innovating, keep raising the bar and keep contributing to the growth of the economy and solving the needs of our people thorough the foundation. My goal remains on building something that lasts and create opportunities for others.”
Mr Samuriwo also applauded the Second Republic led by President Mnangagwa for creating a conducive environment for local businesses to thrive.
