Remembering Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule: A Life of Dedication and Passion
Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule was a prominent figure in South Africa’s entertainment and religious sectors. Born and raised in KwaZulu-Natal, Zanele’s passion for media and her unwavering faith in God led her to become one of the most influential personalities in the country.
