Businesses that local celebrities started in 2019 | Kim Jayde Productions

It’s always an inspirational and proud moment when South African media personalities start their own businesses. The likes of Riky Rick, Zodwa Wabantu and Shimza have started new businesses this year, and we SBWL such moves!

Zimbabwean born and South African based TV personality, Kim Jayde, who is normally in front of the camera, is going behind it. In fact, she’s all the way in the office as the director and founder of a production company called KJ Productions.

Other stars that have collaborated with skilled business-people or individually ventured into entrepreneurship this year (2019) are:
