Zanele Potelwa Wins SA Style Awards While Dominating The Industry
Tuesday, 1 April 2025, Johannesburg – Award-winning Television and Radio Personality, Zanele
Potelwa, is constantly proving that hard work really does pay off. With the critically acclaimed South
African Style Awards having recently named her ‘The Next Big Thing’, the award proves Zanele’s
undeniable impact and recognisable mark within the South African entertainment industry.
Last year saw Zanele not only host the Black Carpet at the Metro FM Music Awards (MMAs), but
also take part in the 30th South African Music Awards (SAMAs) as the “voice of god”, while she also
sparked up the South African Film & Television Awards (SAFTAs)’ red carpet. Zanele stunned at all
the prestigious awards, dressed in beautiful gowns by Gert-Johan Coetzee (SAFTAs), Otiz Seflo
(SAMAs) and Sasa Thabethe (MMAs) that were a spectacle to everyone that witnessed her working
in her magic. Zanele is indeed here to break barriers.
Gracefully also juggling the titles of 5FM drive-time radio host, Selimathunzi (HotSPotSeli) television
presenter, Expresso Show television presenter and Tropika Island of Treasure television host, Zanele
has graceful talent and a brilliant resume that deserves all the recognition.
Says a grateful Zanele: “I feel so blessed, God has been so good to me. I have prayed for all these
amazing opportunities that are now taking place in my life and I do not take them for granted. I hope
you stay on this beautiful entertainment journey with me, because you are who I do it all for, and of
course, to honour God with the gifts that He has given me.”
Expanding her power moves, Zanele is going the entrepreneurship route with her own clothing line
in the works, while also planning to host an event called ‘Mentorship Meetup’, with the purpose of
disseminating information to young talent in the entertainment industry and beyond.
Zanele is further growing into her power, and is well on her way to becoming a lasting force. She is a
bright star and solid talent with a good head on her shoulders, walking in the footsteps of other
legendary South African entertainment names. Only greatness can keep following her.
