Anele Zondo makes the most of her three presenting gigs #MotivationMonday #SouthAfricaBlog

Anele Zondo plans to be the "flyest" presenter in the world and she's on track with three current presenting gigs.

The 26-year-old starlet is the co-presenter for Friday night show Massive Music on Mzansi Magic, The Next Big Trender on new DSTV channel Honey and Celeb Rides on Ignition TV.

Last year, she hosted season 3 of Open Mic on SABC1. Not bad for a starry-eyed ingénue who arrived in Joburg in 2013 from Newcastle, KZN, looking for a career in showbiz.

But her parents were not having it, so to appease them she obtained a diploma in media studies from Boston Media House. When she graduated in 2016, she worked as a PA for her sister, a chef. 

It didn't quite work out after a year.

When season one of telenovela The River launched in 2018, she got her big break playing spoilt rich girl Faith.

Around the same time she started shadowing Lalla Hirayama on Massive Music and waited almost a year before she made her presenting debut when Hirayama was off.
