Ze Makom is a marketing agency for property brands. We partner with shopping centres to create strategic campaigns, content and community-driven marketing that helps increase engagement, visibility and ultimately bring more people into the centre.

I founded Ze Makom after seeing an opportunity to bring a more modern and community-focused approach to shopping-centre marketing. My role is to develop the strategy, manage the marketing and turn ideas into campaigns that create real engagement between shopping centres, their tenants and the communities around them.

I am also the co-founder of Buyk It Fixed, a bicycle servicing and sales business that I helped build from the ground up. I now run the business independently, managing its day-to-day operations, customers and growth. Through Buyk It Fixed, I gained my first real experience in entrepreneurship and learned how to turn an idea into a practical, sustainable business.

I have built and run businesses while creating Ze Makom, a new approach to retail marketing. I want to use my journey to create opportunities for other young people in Johannesburg.

My vision is to build businesses that create opportunities for young people, while showing that success does not have to follow one path. I want to help create a South Africa where young people are encouraged to develop practical skills, pursue entrepreneurship and build their own futures

Over the past few years, I have built businesses from the ground up, including Buyk It Fixed and founded Ze Makom. Buyk It Fixed has been one of the sponsors of the DL Link 94.7 ride for two consecutive years, with our branding featured on the cyclists’ shirts. I also organised the Bring Them Home ride, bringing together over 100 cyclists to ride 100km in support of the hostages. I volunteer with CSO and am actively involved in my community. I hope my journey shows other young people that you don’t have to follow one traditional path to create something meaningful you can take initiative, start with an idea and build from there.
