Olivine Industries has announced Zimbabwean cricket star Blessing Muzarabani as its new brand ambassador.

The partnership brings together one of the country’s most trusted household brands and one of its most admired sportsmen, both driven by a shared vision of MAKING ZIMBABWE GREAT AGAIN.

For decades Olivine has been a fixture in Zimbabwean kitchens, showing up in daily family meals with a promise the company calls “The Olivine Difference”.

Now the company is welcoming Blessing into the Olivine family.

The deal is built around values both share: hard work, integrity, resilience and a deep love for Zimbabwe.

Blessing’s rise from humble beginnings to becoming one of the world’s most feared fast bowlers has struck a chord with fans at home.

His story of discipline and consistency mirrors the brand’s own journey of staying reliable in Zimbabwean homes through changing times.

Olivine Industries Executive Director Mr Rudraksh Somani spoke about why the company chose the cricketer.

He explained that at Olivine, we believe the strongest partnerships are built on shared values.

He added that as an organisation we want our vision of Olivine Difference to continue with our promise of making Zimbabwe great again.

Mr Somani went on to praise Blessing’s character beyond cricket.

He said Blessing is not only an exceptional cricketer but also a humble, hardworking Zimbabwean who inspires people through his actions.

He noted that we are thrilled to welcome him to the Olivine family and look forward in creating memorable moments together for consumers and sports lovers across the country.

He concluded that together we can reach our goal of making Zimbabwe great again.

Blessing Muzarabani said he felt honoured to represent a brand that has been part of Zimbabwean life for generations.

He reflected that growing up, Olivine was a familiar name in our home, just as it is in so many homes across Zimbabwe.

He added that it is a privilege to now represent a brand that people know and trust.

The fast bowler also shared his excitement about what lies ahead.

He said, “I’m excited about this journey and look forward to connecting with Zimbabweans in a new way and be a part of their vision of The Olivine Difference.”

As brand ambassador, Blessing will appear across Olivine’s marketing campaigns, consumer activations and community programmes.

He will also mentor young sporting talent through initiatives aimed at guiding budding athletes.

The goal is to celebrate the spirit, resilience and optimism that define Zimbabweans both on and off the field.

The partnership embodies The Olivine Difference, the company’s commitment to always doing things the better way.

That philosophy shows up in high-quality ingredients, removing artificial additives wherever possible, investing in world-class manufacturing, and now championing outstanding Zimbabwean talent like Blessing Muzarabani.

Olivine says “excellence should be evident in everything it does, from products to partnerships to the promise made to consumers every day.”

With cricket commanding national attention and Olivine holding deep roots in Zimbabwean homes, the collaboration is positioned to reach millions.

For consumers, it means more than new campaigns.

It signals a shared belief that Zimbabwean excellence, whether in sport or manufacturing, can inspire progress and national pride.

As the partnership rolls out, Zimbabweans can expect to see Blessing fronting campaigns that tie his journey to everyday family moments around the table, reinforcing Olivine’s message that great things happen when hard work and quality come together.
