We sit down with Zibusiso Mkhwanazi, author of Business by Grace, co-founder of Avatar Advertising Agency and Executive Chairman of M&N, South Africa’s largest independent black-owned agency network. From starting his entrepreneurial journey with just R2 000 in high school to building an advertising powerhouse with approximately 200 employees across Johannesburg and Durban, Zibu’s story is one of grit, resilience and purpose-driven leadership.

We explore his journey from IT to media, the lessons he has learned about partnerships, leadership, and culture, and how he managed to steer Avatar through the pandemic without a single job cut. Zibu also shares candid insights on failure, letting go, and the role of faith as his guiding thread through turbulent times.
