Moving from Jhb to Emalahleni was a challenge for me. When one comes from a small town (city), and finally moves to the City of Gold, which had always been my dream. Moving back to the City of Coal, from the City of Gold was a challenge. Not just the physical part of things, but mentally and spiritually too. Even the acceptance took time. It took me about two years to come to terms with it and be at peace about it.
Fast forward to now, 2024, I now know that for me, this is where I'm supposed to be, especially in this season. I don't know if it will change, because my heart will always be in Jhb, but I know that in this very season, Emalahleni is where I'm meant to be, and God doesn't make mistakes. Also, I have come to love and appreciate what Emalahleni has to offer, not just Emalahleni, but Nkangala District as a whole. Its wholesome opportunities and the creativity is consuming.
I'm learning about the Ndebele culture, which is not my culture, but is the dominant culture in Nkangala District. We have other cultures, but Ndebele is pretty much dominant. Most of the traditions here are derived from this culture and people get to monetize it through different forms of art, and it's recognised worldwide.

I think also on the path we are on, I am realising how gutsy we were when we started. Unafraid to knock on any door. We had a child-like faith and we believed the limits went beyond the skies.

How does one get themselves back to a plan of child-like faith? Advice please...

Looking back at our 12 year journey, and how our brand started. All we wanted was to create an alternative platform for authentic African stories and celebrate the voices of this industry. Somehow, along the way, this vision has remained through the detours of life and the reimagined realities and money making opportunities.

I have fallen inlove with industry thought leaders that have reminded me that enough is not a rand/dollar amount, as long as u are living your authentic truth and can afford your circumstances and ambitions, which is obviously subjective and dependant on what u deem as success.

When will u know u have made it?

Guys, let's talk about personal branding. Do u know that u are a brand? We all are! I learnt that we all have personal brands, whether we know it or not. Whether we use it actively or not. So, do u know what your personal brand is and how to identify it? Is it even important to know and utilise it? Let's talk...

For almost two decades in the entertainment industry, I have always thought I had a clear goal of what I wanted. I put plans in motion, so implementation was not the problem, actually it's not. I have lacked the ability to plan and do serious due diligence when it comes to anything I am passionate about.

This new season is teaching me alot. I hope to walk with you through it and we grow together as we learn to grow our online presence as a business and win.

Knowledge is King. The Bible says my people perish because they lack knowledge (paraphrased). It is important to arm ourselves with knowledge. Let us be curious human beings.

Family is a blessing. Here at ZSP GLOBAL, it's a flex to be part of a community that is far greater than us. We appreciate our FB community and we just wanna say thank you.

As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the incredible talent, resilience, and innovation within South Africa's creative industry. Despite challenges, we've witnessed groundbreaking art, music, film, and storytelling that have inspired change and united communities.

Looking ahead to 2025, let’s continue nurturing our unique creative voices while empowering the next generation of leaders to dream boldly and act with purpose. Together, we can elevate the creative sector to new heights, creating opportunities and building legacies.

Here’s to a year of growth, collaboration, and transformative impact in the creative and leadership spaces!

ZSP Global was a concept that was derived from the love of telling our own stories in a way that was relatable to us. Birthed in 2012, we were still infants in the industry. Driven by passion without the maturity of patience and understanding of time. It was head first. Led by emotions and acted on impulse. Never taking the time to assess what was needed to build a thriving business.

I say build because a business is a building project that needs a building plan and materials to stand. I look forward to hearing your business stories as we continue on this journey together, because all of us are storytellers and have stories to share.

Here's to ending the year strong and embracing our stories. In by Sarah Jakes Roberts, she reminds us of the famous poem written by Marianne Williamson that, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. Let us embrace our lights and step out in awesomeness.

This year started off with a great first. When ZSP GLOBAL started in 2012, our very first project was a magazine titled Industri-tainment. Our goal was to publish a magazine that would become a mouthpiece of the entertainment industry, celebrated fresh talents and gave a platform to newcomers. I remember at the time, we had DJ Whisky on our cover, this was 2012/2013. We had interviews with Skhumba the Big Banger, .I.N.T.A.G.E and Micasa. Needless to say resources failed us and we never saw it to print.

This year MDDA - Media Development & Diversity Agency saw potential in what we were trying to do, and granted us the opportunity to turn our dreams into reality. We took our new baby, titled ZSP GLOBAL INSIGHT now to print, and yes, with hiccups of a new birth, but we are here, hanging on and determined to tell the stories in a way that we believe represents us best.

2024 has been quite a year. A year of firsts, and a year of loss. A year encompassed with a lot of pain, but also a year that has seen new possibilities and strengths surface. As a business, we have evolved. That, which has been our story since the beginning. So blessed to have occupied the places and spaces that we do.

Here is to learning, growing and evolving until we find that which we are destined for. Let's celebrate ourselves in pre-richness or whether racing yachts in Cape Town (stolen). We are here, and that is worth celebrating.
