The versatile South African Zareef Minty and his projects
Twenty-eight years old South African Zareef Minty is growing increasingly popular these days.
He’s a versatile individual with a lot in hand from a very young age. Zareef is a multi-talented individual complacent with his life as a political leader, a media person, and a businessman.
His lifestyle pretty much deviates from the austere and conventional way of living.
And he has enough empirical evidence to support his claim. One cannot enumerate the number of times he has been nominated for his dressing sense.
Magazine Forbes published his name as one of the best-dressed individuals.
Zareef pursued his career as a TV anchor on a South African TV channel namely, DSTV channel 345.
The name of the show is “INX Prime.” People not only admire his candor but his novel ways of approaching projects and multitasking abilities as he creates an environment conducive to working.
Minty has a degree in Law (LLB) from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, but his interests are far diverse.
The attorney is an avid football fan candid about his love for tennis and hockey as well.
His deference to sportsmen makes him a potential candidate for organizing sports events.
Between April 2023 and July 2023, he will be looking forward to organizing a sports event in South Africa.
Possibly a football tournament. The whole purpose behind this gesture is to promote football in South Africa.
There are humanitarian aspects behind it as well. A percentage of whatever he will earn in terms of ticket sales and advertising will go towards humanitarian campaigns in South Africa.
International Sportsmen will check in and participate in the occasion.
Some of which include Ronaldinho, Maldini, Samuel Eto’o, and Didier Drogba who will be playing against each other.
Three different stadiums will be used to play the football matches. These include Royal Bafokeng in Rustenburg, Moses Mabida in Durban, and Athlone Stadium in Cape Town South Africa.
“It’s called The Tournament of Legends,” said Zareef.
Minty and his company have decided to pursue other avenues as well.
The main aim of his media and marketing agency “Newsworthy” is to provide a solution to problems that haven’t ever been solved in the history of South Africa yet.
The company is under a year old. He along with his other company “One Mark” is busy properly promoting medium or small-sized businesses or companies on a level equal to that of big-sized ones.
Zareef has a record of becoming the youngest national youth president in South Africa at the age of only 19.
He participated in the 2014 national general elections where he stood 5th on the party’s parliamentary candidate list.
He has also been listed under the politics category in the Mail and Guardian’s Top 200 Young South Africans under 35 lists.
Minty is the Founder of the foundation “Zareef Minty build a School Foundation,” whereby he aims to build at least 3 schools in Limpopo by the year 2024.
He’s also the author of the book “Empire.” It’s for the youngsters of today and explains how to work on their mindset.
