Background

About Zane Grobbelaar

I am a highly experienced and ambitious individual who started my entrepreneurial journey at a young age. At the age of 10, I started my first business, generating per month with a gross profit of 70%. This experience sparked a passion for business and entrepreneurship within me. In high school, I started my own tuck-shop business because the school's rates were too high and generated $500 per month with a 40% gross profit. This experience taught me the importance of identifying market gaps and taking advantage of opportunities. While balancing my studies and business ventures, I also had a keen interest in media and technology. I balanced camera operations at Gate Gaborone for 2 years on the weekends, honing my skills in this field. In my final years of high school, I started my own media company handling photo shoots, DJ events, and videography, putting my passion for media into practice. After completing high school, I began working as a social media specialist for a non-profit organization, Wild and Free Foundation. The NGO helps combat wildlife poaching by engaging and uplifting rural African communities in Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. My role at the organization allowed me to make a difference while also expanding my skillset in marketing and content creation. Within a year of working at the organization, I worked my way up to Media and Content Director, and then to Marketing Director within another year. Throughout my professional journey, I have always been dedicated to balancing multiple responsibilities and pursuing my passions. I continued to balance camera operations and production management at Gate Ministries Sandton for 5 years on the weekends, while working full-time and continuing to grow my business and media ventures. My diverse experiences and skills have allowed me to excel in a variety of roles and industries, and I am excited to continue to grow and learn in my career.
