IN a remarkable recognition of her contributions to the real estate and construction sectors, Leonita Mhishi has been nominated for the prestigious Zimbabwe Women in Real Estate and Construction Awards, scheduled for May 10, 2025, at the Golden Conifer in Harare.
The awards, organised by the Zimbabwe Real Estate and Construction Summit, aim to spotlight the achievements of women navigating a traditionally male-dominated industry, encouraging collaboration and fostering growth across the sector.

With over 17 years of experience in the field, she has successfully positioned HSP as a remarkable force, emphasizing personalized service and advanced technology in property transactions.
“This nomination is not just a personal achievement but a reflection of our team’s hard work and dedication,” Mhishi shared.
“I believe in leading by example and empowering other women to break through barriers in this industry. Together, we can create a transformative impact.”
The event is set to highlight the incredible efforts of women such as Joyline Zindaga, CEO of the Zimbabwe Building Contractors Association, and Tendai Hlupo-Mamvura, CEO of Zim Cyber City, as they lead change in their respective fields. Leonita emphasized the importance of mentorship, stating, “My passion lies in helping women discover their potential within the real estate and construction sectors. By fostering an environment of support and empowerment, we can elevate the entire industry.”
The Zimbabwe Real Estate and Construction Summit has made history as the first-ever hybrid event in the industry, with its inaugural awards gala attracting major players like Pam Golding Properties, WestProp Holdings, and NBS Bank. Honorable CZ Tavengwa, Minister of State and Devolution in the Office of the President and Cabinet, will grace the occasion as the guest of honor, underscoring the significance of the awards in shaping a more inclusive future for the industry.
Leonita’s commitment to sustainable practices further sets her agency apart. She integrates eco-friendly solutions into property development while maintaining a strong ethical foundation rooted in her Christian values.
“Every decision we make is guided by a philosophy that honors our clients’ needs while considering the environmental impact of our projects,” she explained.
As HSP continues to thrive under her leadership, Leonita Mhishi exemplifies innovation and excellence, making her an exemplary nominee for this year’s award.
With a reputation for transforming the real estate experience, she is dedicated to providing reliable, confidential, and effective solutions for clients across Zimbabwe.
