Natasha Zantsi, a multi-talented entrepreneur, songwriter, author, and community activist, stands as a beacon of inspiration with her latest venture, Mako-T, bearing the tagline "Yiza nayo molokazana." This premium redbush tea, born from Natasha's unwavering determination and entrepreneurial spirit, has quickly found its place on the shelves of retail shops across the Eastern Cape since its inception in 2022.
Under the umbrella of the Zantsi Investment Group, Natasha's flagship company, Mako-T represents a commitment to quality and community empowerment. Not content with mere local success, her organic redbush tea has also found its way onto the shelves of various Spar shops in both the Eastern Cape and Gauteng.
However, Natasha's vision extends beyond simply creating a delicious beverage. With a heart for her community and a desire to foster economic growth, she has opened up opportunities for individuals to become distributors of Mako-T in their own areas. This not only expands the reach of her product but also provides avenues for employment and additional income, embodying Natasha's ethos of empowerment and inclusivity.
Natasha's journey to success is a testament to her resilience and faith. Raised in a devout household as the daughter of a senior evangelist, her upbringing instilled in her a deep connection to her faith and a sense of purpose. Despite facing personal challenges, including past trauma and rejection, Natasha emerged stronger, guided by her unwavering belief in God's plan for her life.
In recognition of her innovative spirit and contributions to her community, Natasha was nominated for the Most Innovative Entrepreneur award by the Christian Women Entrepreneurs Network of Africa in 2023. Her dedication to uplifting others and spreading messages of healing and forgiveness is exemplified in her book, "Let go of the Past and Liberate yourself," released in 2021. This powerful memoir chronicles Natasha's own journey towards forgiveness and self-discovery, offering hope and inspiration to those facing similar struggles.
Natasha Zantsi was also awarded with an African African Honoree Authors Award in 2022, and was nominated for the Global African Award UK edition in the same year. Additionally, she won the 50 Most Memorable Women's Awards by Feature Magazine in 2022.
Looking towards the future, Natasha continues to make waves with her upcoming memoir, inviting readers to contemplate the imminent return of Christ and their own spiritual preparedness.
