Career
Zandile Nzalo’s career took a major turn in 1997, with the establishment of Channel O, Africa’s first 24-hour music channel on DSTV, where she became the General Manager for the station for three years.
Following a successful tenure at Channel O, in 2002 Zandile founded her public relations agency, Zanenza Communications, which initially focused on PR and communications, and operated from her backyard cottage, before moving to an office park in Randburg.
The addition of an events management division and, a few years later in 2014, a décor hire component, meant that Zanenza would have the opportunity to plan and execute major events for organizations such as the National Empowerment Fund (NEF), The Department of Human Settlements and PIC.
In 2009, Zandile’s passion for youth development led to the establishment of FindYoFayah (FYF), an NPO and Zanenza’s CSI initiative, aimed at empowering unemployed young people through training, entrepreneurial development and mentorship.
Awards Nomination
In 2017, Zandile was nominated for the WEConnect International award for Fastest Growing Business.
