“Plans have been wrapped up for a successful hosting of the 2015 edition of the awards in Zanzibar in July 2015. It promises to be an eventful and exciting show as top stakeholders in the movie industry across Africa will be in attendance; AFDA is a Pan African award which recognises and rewards excellence in the African motion picture industry.”
