Thumbs Up To DJ Zinhle’s Video!
July 8, 2010 by Brown Shuga
She’s Mzansi’s pride!One of only a handful (if there are that many) successful female DJs and she’s just released her first ever music video. I can only imagine how nerve-wracking it must have been for DJ Zinhle Jiyane. She’s doing some groundbreaking stuff… running a female DJ school: “FUSE Academy“, a store called Spotlight Clothing, gigs all over the country (& outside), she’s my Superwoman-in-the-making!
Her new video for Pepe – Roots featuring comedians David Kau and Chris Mapane as her two “stalkers” is really funny and I love it!
LOL I’m laughing just looking at these stills from the vid. Anyway, I asked Zinhle about what inspired the video’s concept, why she used David and Chris and here’s what she said:
DJ Zinhle:
“I wanted a unique concept, something that would get people talking and excited. I really struggled with the concept unti David Kau offered to come up with one. Even better for me, he directed and featured in the video. David was the one who suggested the comedian idea and it was the best choice, they were so amazing. They got into character and even though I was laughing half the time, they were so serious about getting the perfect shots.. David knew what he wanted and was such an amazing director! It was a pleasure & very easy to work with him. “
Well, this is certainly one of those videos that one looks forward to seeing again… David and Chris are hilarious! Their dance moves, kwaaaa! Here’s the video, check it out and let us know what you think.:
I also think it’s cool that they used Twitter in the video. Chris & David follow Zinhle on Twitter so that’s how they get to know where she’s going to be.
She also features her industry colleagues on the vid, Bobstar, Miss Pru, Infinite Boys, DJ Yme, Dj Cubeur, DJ Zonke and the girls from her school, Fuse.
Oh, and ladies, look out for the daddy to be, DJ Lulo Cafe on minute 3:56! Hotness!
If you can’t see the video up here, check it out on this link:
DJ Zinhle’s album, Feminine Touch is out in stores now and oh, the Pepe song is also nice! I found myself attempting those Chris Mapane dance moves too. Speaking of Chris, is he cute? I can’t seem to decide. Sometimes he seems cute and then these “comedian stunts” make him look not so cute… hehehe.
By the way, I’m waiting for David Kau, Chris Mapane and Ndumiso Lindi to shoot a “Single Ladies video” . It would be fun to watch! lol

I went to boarding school with Zinhle, Siyamukela High School in Newcastle in 1998..she was a tomboy and she loveed Michael Jackson. She had a book full of his pics, I wonder if she still likes him. Big ups to Zinhle!
