Congratulations Zyd Team for the job Well-done. We'd like to send our heartfelt gratitude to for sponsoring, making this initiative a huge success. for coming forward and be our media sponsor (creating incredible memories we'll never forget even on our old-age. Those interviews/pictures and videos will stay with us forever) how can I forget your contribution towards learners (worked with) was amazing. They were able to snack after school when we took over with our project everyday (niyobongwa emazulwini) as for drama teachers, school principals, learners (we wouldn't do this without you) siyabonga kakhulu. To our judges, thank you so much for an amazing job. And to program director, thanks baba you're the best! Winners, congratulations (you really deserved it) but what I loved the most is the fact that everybody went home a winner after competition that will remind all of you, you were once part of Zizezande youth development organization.....what a journey, thanks again 🙏🏽 Deli Malinga Dali Malinga

Today I woke up feeling like ngizobe anginalo iqiniso if angibongi kumphakathi wamaSocial media (bcos that's a community on its own that has a huge impact) FB, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube etc ngoba yilawo that I'm familiar with. I'm where I am with my career bcos of you. You blew a whistle and made other ppl pay attention THERE IS DELI MALINGA ON TV SCREENS when I wasn't paying attention myself, thinking I'm just doing what I love doing giving it my 500% focus and energy not knowing THAT will take me this far. Remember Umkhokha was my 1st lead role ever....but today I'm holding an award in kzn as THE BEST ACTRESS (which means a lot to me njengomuntu waseKasi, kwa-D Kwezincane)
BoMnax, Ladies House I'm saying hala kunina nonke for a reason (bese soyibamba lapho 😂) to all those who supported me from day 1, ngyanithanda futhi ngyabonga. I am bcos of you, t'wasn't easy to play such a crazy character like mamzobe and be loved by all. Whoever decided to change things at an eleventh hour and allow me to play Mamzobe, uyobongwa emazulwini. Everyone I ever worked with in this industry...you have a special place in my heart. Umkhokha Producers mostly Baba uMandla kaNoZulu and Duma Kandlovu (that's where my journey as one of the global actors on the show began) Cast and crew ngyabonga, t'was a journey worth traveling ❤️

Happy Wednesday fellow artists. It pains my heart seeing most of you playing with opportunities. Zizezande Youth Development was created for you eMlazi, where we give skills free of charge. Being an artist is a calling, something you are born with (never take that for granted) so you need skills, you need training (no soldier goes to war without a proper training) don't expect things to happen overnight. We get into the industry for wrong reasons sometimes but be careful it might be very harsh on you and kick you out. Zizezande is for all our youth passionate about performing arts, we're at Umlazi Q hall Monday to Friday (10:00am to 3pm)
23/01/2022
Zizezande Youth Development eMlazi is opening tomorrow Ka-Q ehall, we're starting from 10:00am to 4pm. A company that deals with skill development and training within the youth passionate about performing arts. Our motto: The eye that looks beyond..... When you get there before me, ask for Sphakeme Nduli ❤️

Happy 2022 to all our youth we working with at Zizezande Youth Development and people at large. This is to prepare you that we're opening soon @ Umlazi U Community hall. Zizezande is about skill development and training to our youth passionate about performing arts around ekasi to help them shape their chosen career within the performing arts. Those who are interested to join us for 2022, it's free and our focus is mainly at Umlazi and surroundings as we wouldn't like to stress parents with transport money hence we know how difficult it is out there. You can communicate with me direct on 0765542931 (during office hours) or contact Sphakeme Nduli on 0762205046 or drop a whatsup, or here on fb or my instagram Dellymalinga9 for any information 🌹

Come 2nd week of January 2021, I can't wait for Zizezande Youth Development to reopen again. It's been the longest break of our lives but if God permits we'll be back again where we deal with skill development and training within the youth passionate about performing arts in the townships. This Covid19 pandemic has affected everyone, companies are collapsing, ppl are getting retrenched but hey God is still God. Never lose hope & live in fear have faith in God knowing he's still sitting on throne, whatever you going through somebody once experienced the samething in time it'll pass everything on this earth, is temporal. Have fun on Friday (can't even say happy Christmas ) please take care of yourselves, comply with Covid19 rules and regulations. We'll always love you. For all those who have lost their loved ones and burried them in a very traumatic way they've never imagined, receive our heartfelt condolences. May God give you strength and protect you. Let there be light in whatever you do. Stay blessed 🌹 *let's touch lives and make a difference*
