“For this reason, I wanted to have Ali Kiba perform here tonight to create yet another memorable event. When we started planning for the event, I spoke to Vodacom and ZMMI who were delighted to sponsor us and ensure it was a great success. Tonight, not only we celebrate the 6 Degree’s achievements, but also we celebrate the achievements of our partners and our stakeholders as well," he continued.

“My heart beats for Zanzibar and all of the people present here share the same views. I am privileged to host such a delegation as we celebrate the six successful years of our restaurant." Saleh concluded.
