Simba Matyarutya is a creative talent from the City of Bulawayo with a big dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wants to change the male modelling industry, starting from his home country and going worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born in Gweru, he grew up in Gwanda and now lives in Bulawayo. Simba is not just one thing he is a runway model, pageant model, fashion model, designer, and also a musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He started modelling when he was just 13 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His journey has not been easy. In Zimbabwe, he found it hard to find agencies that focus on male models because the industry there is smaller for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he did not give up. He has worked with agencies like Truth Models Academy, Conexta, and the retail brand Edgars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His hard work is paying off he has even been nominated for Outstanding Male Model of the Year 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right now, Simba is focused on building connections with other models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His goal is to help male modelling grow in Zimbabwe, all across Africa, and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see myself raising the flag of Zimbabwe this year,\u201d he says, hoping to inspire others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps, Simba has clear advice: \u201cDon\u2019t give up.\u201d He tells aspiring models to always dress well, act like a public figure, and walk with confidence everywhere they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also suggests joining agencies like Conexta or Truth Models Academy to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simba describes his journey as \u201ctoo hard,\u201d but now he feels he is climbing toward success and can finally see the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based in Bulawayo, he is working hard to make an impact and inspire the next generation of models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
