Seasoned radio presenter DJ Zeal Dladla got a nomination at the Woman of Stature Awards South Africa.

DJ Zeal MaDladla is the host of Ukhozi FM's Fakumoya airing on Fridays 8pm-12am and Ndabezinhle on Sundays 12pm-3pm.

DJ Zeal says she has previously won Most Grown Show at Ukhozi FM, has twice been nominated for Telkom Radio Awards' Best Breakfast Show and Best Weekend Show, and was a finalist at the South Africa Dance Music Awards for Best Dance Music Radio Show.

"This is a sign of growth. These awards are international and hosted by other countries, which encourages me that I'm on the right track when it comes to representing South Africa through radio and giving back to my community. I'm grateful to God, SABC leadership and of course my amazing supporters," she said.

"Outside of radio, I have a brand with my son, ‘MaDladla MakaNdabe’. I deliver in hospitality, entertainment and media. You know, as a single parent you always have to do extra — there are no back-ups."
