LOBENGULA ADVERTISING

Woza, hamba nathi on this journey,
and together, let's create a legacy
that lasts for generations to come.

WHO WE ARE

Our Story

The story of Shaka is known among many but there was another figure, another history-maker during this period of disorder, destruction, and dreams of defiance not often spoken about, but whose story our agency is rooted in.

Mzilikazi

Mzilikazi, the chief of the Khumalo clan, a general highly treasured by Shaka, and one of the most gifted commanders of this explosive period. Beyond these labels, Mzilikazi was a man strong in his conviction, expansive in his thinking, and fearless in standing for both.

Nedebele Kingdom

It was with this energy after a disagreement between himself and Shaka over creative differences, Mzilikazi headed north, into what we know now as Western Zimbabwe and established the Ndebele Kingdom.

Lobengula was his son.

Lobengula

Inherited from his father, Lobengula knew who he was and what he'd fight for; conversation, collaboration, loyalty, and disciplined commitment to the craft of leadership without fear of being seen as a rebel.

Lobengula was the last of the Zulu Chieftains to make a stand for black independence.

Living Proof

For the most part of history, the story of Lobengula was unwritten but we are living proof of this legacy; a tribe fearlessly moving beyond the norm to create new nations from original creative ideas.
