About Me

I am a spiritual coach, creative leader, cultural advocate, author, actress, and entrepreneur passionate about empowering people to discover their purpose and embrace their authentic identity.

I am the daughter of Her Royal Highness Mntwana Nkosinathi C. Zungu and Mr. Fuku Kolase, and the granddaughter of Chief Bafana Samuel Zungu and Her Royal Highness Princess Mkhusu kaZulu, daughter of Her Royal Highness Qedicala, son of Her Royal Highness Dabulamanzi kaMpande.

I was born on 13 June 1974 at Baragwanath Hospital (now Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital) in Johannesburg. My early childhood was spent at my grandparents’ home in Umlazi before moving to my mother’s home in Lindelani Township, where many of my values, resilience, and sense of purpose were shaped.

My life has always been guided by faith, culture, creativity, and service. These foundations continue to influence everything I do—from community development and leadership to media, education, business, and spiritual growth.

Every experience has prepared me for one mission: to inspire people to live with purpose, embrace their identity, and create meaningful change in their communities.

My Journey Through My Books

I am the author of Leaving Shadows Behind, Ukushiya Izithunzi Emuva (the IsiZulu edition of Leaving Shadows Behind), and Iqiniso Lami: The Queen of Phinifa Revolution. Through my books, I share powerful stories of healing, resilience, cultural identity, and personal transformation, inspiring readers to embrace their purpose and lead with confidence.
