Cape Town — South African music star and businesswoman DJ Zinhle is one of the most empowering women in the music and business industry and aims to inspire many young women.
Zinhle’s business, Era by DJ Zinhle has been around for over 10 years and she’s managed to create work opportunities by employing people to work at her Era stores, IOL wrote.
“I think small businesses as they call them, I like to call developing businesses, are the future of this country. We are the ones who are going to make sure that unemployment is something of the past.”

“This is why we need support from the government as people in business, especially in developing businesses.”
Her advice to young entrepreneurs is to start small with what you have and to give it time to work
“Era, for example, is 11 years this year and that’s how long it takes to build brands, and we are still at the beginning of what we are trying to do. So do not give up, do not think that you are not doing the right thing, everything becomes a lesson, as long as your eyes are open.”
Zinhle was part of a Brutal Fruit women’s campaign called the Brutal Fruit SheBeen aimed at inspiring and motivating women.
“Last night we rocked #SheBeen: A women-only bar by Brutal Fruit Spritzer. I’m grateful to be a part of something that’s so meaningful to women. Thank you to those who honoured my guest-list. Remember ladies, you definitely light up the room.”
