Social media users discussed the Africa Social 100 list of the Most Talked About African personalities. Topping the list at number 3 is our very own DJ Zinhle. The doting mother of 2 was beaten by Burna Boy and Shatta Wale who both took number 1 and 2 respectively.

DJ Zinhle is even the only South African personality in the top 10. When she saw the list, DJ Zinhle expressed shock and disbelief when she wrote, "Not me" and added an astonished emoji.

Her fans flooded her comments section with positive messages, telling her she deserves it. We can think of a number of reasons why DJ Zinhle deserves all of these wins. She has been in the industry for years and always produced nothing but hits. She has topped the music charts and won numerous awards over the years. One thing about DJ Zinhle, she will remain Africa's number 1 female DJ, year-in, year-out.

Her last single, Siyabonga, became very popular with her fans who quickly made it trend on YouTube and reach 1.2 million views. On the song, she worked with Nokwazi, Black Motion and Kabza De Small.

On top of that, she just concluded her reality show, The Unexpected on BET and it was a hit. On the reality show we got to learn more things about the DJ and her private life. Including her relationship with Murdah Bongz and how they plan on making their blended family set-up work.

On the last episode, Zinhle revealed that she had finally agreed to marry Bongani but it will happen at their own pace. ā€œThis is a different experience with Bongani who is completely amazing. I just need to be in it with a new energy. As scary as it felt, it just felt good to be with someone who is so reassuring, someone who is there.ā€

ā€œBongani and I have plans to get married but itā€™s not going to be when people want us to get married, we have a lifetime ahead of us. We are happy every day.ā€ she said.

ā€œI spoke to Kiernan about the baby. He said Iā€™m quite a rebel. ā€˜You have another kid, with another manā€™. He said your family must think you are such a problem,ā€ she said.

AKA on the other hand said he feels because he has a child with Zinhle, Asante is also his child. ā€œHe said I need to know the details, so I said okay it is a girl. He said I was hoping for a boy, sit. My brother said it is not your baby and he said it kind of feels like it is my baby, I said wow, that is crazy,ā€ she continued.

ā€œHe said well obviously Bongani has a relationship with Kairo. So you guys canā€™t ask me not to have a relationship with this one,ā€ she added. Zinhle noted that Murdah is not in a hurry for the blended family setup, ā€œBongani is baby steps because I wonā€™t lieā€¦ I thought Bongani is going to be the easy one about this whole thing and I thought Kiernan would be difficult but actually it is the other way around,ā€ said DJ Zinhle.

Zinhle has paved the way for female DJ's in this country and most of them look up to her. She also shared some words of wisdom to the girls amid backlash they were receiving.

"Female DJs, perfect your artā€¦ donā€™t give them a reason to disrespect your work. Practice makes perfect. With that said, wear whatever you wanna wear & dance if itā€™s your thingā€¦ They are talking because youā€™re shaking the industry. Itā€™s our time!"
