Ever since DJ Zinhle decided to let her fans in on her private life with The Unexpected, they got to see a different side to Zinhle. Not the side where she cries a lot - like literally - but the love and bond she and her helper Zama have is very heartwarming.
Zinhle like many other celebrities get endorsement deals from major companies and ever since welcoming her little Asante, baby companies have been approaching her and one in particular Pampers.
In an ad campaign promoting the brand, Zinhle worked with her confidant Zama to reiterate the expression that it really does take a village to raise a child.
She shared a short skit where her helper and nanny Zama hands over Asante to her and how she always plays with her. In another scene Zama is seen playing with the baby whilst Zinhle packs some nappies in her travel bag.
One if the biggest takeaways from the video is Zama's enchanting smile which exposes her warmth towards people.
Zinhle captioned her video with paying homage to her for helping her raise the baby.
"They say it takes a village to raise a kid and they are right! As moms, single or not, there are some questions we won't always have the answers to. This is why I am so blessed to have a #PampersTribe like Zama & @gugulethu_mtshali to help get me through those difficult but satisfying and rewarding times. Especially during times when we’re all trying to manage a global pandemic," she said.
In her reality show, Zinhle also broke the news to all the people who are close to her including Zama. But when she told Zama, she was not as surprised as she said she noticed her growing bump.
Zinhle is still not showing baby Asante's face but her fans have already seen her. Thanks to Oskido who showed her face whilst she was half-asleep and Zama rocking her.
Zinhle's social media feed is her promoting her businesses and the latest venture is opening the Durban store in a few days. She will be treating her Durban fans with their very own Era By DJ Zinhle store instead of wasting money on delivery fees.
"Durban, I hope you’re ready for the @erabydjzinhle store… Please save the date, we launch at Pavillion Mall on the 1st of December."
She opened her flagship store at the Mall Of Africa and spoke about how proud she is of the progress of Era, "I am super excited about our new flagship store at The Mall Of Africa. This is a very big deal for my team and I. In a time where there has been so much loss, so many setbacks and hardships, I realised that it is important to take time and celebrate every victory along the way."
"It may sound crazy but 8 years ago, no one wanted to work with an ambitious DJ from Dannhauser. Even a weekly appearance on national TV didn't convince them that my brand and I were quiet worth the risk. They judged who I was at the time and couldn't see who I could become at the time," she continues.
"I had to shift my focus, I stopped looking for partnership instead I went out and looked for ownership. It wasn't as easy and powerful as I make it sound in fact I had to work harder than I ever had. There was blood sweat tears and a lot of life lessons in between," explained Zinhle. "The biggest investments was in ourselves," she pointed out.
