Mthawelanga Zakade

Editorial Strategy Associate

Hey, I’m Mthawelanga, a wordsmith of sorts! I graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Arts, earning my stripes in Media and Writing, Film and Television Studies and Gender Studies. When you talk about everything and anything content, you’re talking about me. I dabble in a little bit of everything when it comes to writing because you cannot limit ones creativity. When I’m not typing away, I’m nose-deep in a book, binging a series or debating anyone who will listen about the limitations of existentialism and convincing them that we are all living in a simulation.

Kholofelo Setlatjie

Content Narrative Design Associate

Kholofelo Setlatjile here, a creative and media enthusiast who’s explored the vibrant worlds of radio, TV, print, and digital media. I studied Language Practice and Journalism to expand my skill set and allow me to explore the full scope and art of communication. I truly believe in the power of how we share our stories and the reasons behind it—it fuels my creativity. I love crafting content that blends structure with creativity because I know that a well-told story can inspire change and ignite fresh ideas. When I’m not creating new worlds through storytelling as a writer, producer and content director, you can find me between the pages of a gripping book, at an art exhibition, watching documentaries that take me on all sorts of deep dives, enjoying a new culinary experience or simply nestled in the comfort of my space listening to music. I embody my creative side.
