History

Zazi Foundation started out in 2007 as a voluntary organization. It was formed by a multi disciplinary group of individuals. The founding directors are Lindikaya Ntshinga, Rithuli Orleyn and Phumelele Zonela ka Moti.

After succesfully completing projects, a decision was made to incorporate Zazi Foundation as a Section 21 NPO. In 2008 Zazi Foundation launched the Health Television Channel (health tv) through generous funding from the Western Cape Department of Health. This is a television channel built and maintained by Zazi Health (a division of Zazi Foundation.
