2024 has been the year, South African DJ and entrepreneur Zinhle Jiyane has celebrated 20 years of being in the music industry.
She hosted her very first music festival, ZeeNation which was highly successful, won several awards and now she’s been voted the number one female DJ in Africa.
DjaneTop released the top 100 female DJs in the Africa region list, where DJ Zinhle leads. The top 20 also features other notable South African DJs such as Lerato Kganyago at number two, DBN Gogo at number five, followed by Lady Amar and Lamiez Holworthy.
Zinhle celebrated the moment with her followers, thanking them for their support. She has held the number-one spot in Africa since 2018.
“What an incredible year it’s been! Being named Africa’s No. 1 again feels especially emotional this time around, particularly after the amazing @ZeeNationFest.
“I know this moment of celebration is all because of YOU—my Bestie, my partner in every dream, and my biggest supporter.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering belief in me throughout this journey,” she wrote.
Online website DjaneTop released the list of the world's best female DJs of 2024 and Mzansi’s very own DJ Zinhle places at number 33 of the Top 100, making a major leap from number 66, her 2023 position.
