About
A little bit about myself
I am an Editor, Producer and Technical guru with over 23 years’ experience in the industry.
I started off my career as a junior editor in 2001 at Armadillo Productions where I quickly progressed to editor. At Armadillo I worked my way through the ranks and then moved on to ATV Productions. From there I joined Frontiers Group starting at Kaelo Worldwide Media as a freelance junior editor in June 2005. In August 2006, I accepted a permanent editor position and was quickly promoted to senior editor. In 2006 I was promoted technical head of production. I decided to pursue a freelance career in September 2019.
I have a sound knowledge of production and expert level skills in editing, camera work, graphics, directing and producing. My greatest strengths include my organised and efficient approach to executing projects, superior technical knowledge and problem-solving ability, my ability to anticipate obstacles and good values such as honesty and loyalty.
I enjoy equipping myself with various tools, skills and editing platforms. I work seamlessly across various software platforms. I am able to work across various platforms from short to long form in sport, medical, fashion, corporate social investment and arms manufacturing.

Sometimes you think things can’t get worse — until you go back and see.
This week, I edited an insert that revisits Kimberley, a year after government promises of housing, infrastructure, and basic services. What I saw was shocking: a city still drowning in sewage, and communities still unheard.
As always, I’m grateful to play a part in stories that expose injustice and give a voice to those forgotten. www.dstv.com

A recruitment programme touted by local influencers promises jobs and training. The only condition: relocation to Russia. But as young women prepare to uproot their lives in the name of opportunity, suspicion flourishes. Influencers marketing the programme admit they have no idea what the recruits will be doing overseas. When a public outcry accuses them of participating in human trafficking, they delete the posts and issue public apologies. Government issues a stern warning against the programme. But who is really behind the drive to recruit young South African women to Russia? Carte Blanche investigates. www.dstv.com
THE VICTORIA FALLS MARATHON - HIGHLIGHTS
The latest video
The Econet Victoria Falls Marathon, established in 2005 by Wild Frontiers, has evolved into a premier event on the African running calendar. Initially conceived through local partnerships amidst economic challenges, the marathon has grown substantially over the years. By 2010, economic improvements allowed for expanded participation and sponsorship, solidifying its place as a significant sporting and cultural event.
The marathon's unique allure lies in its scenic route, starting with a breathtaking crossing of the Victoria Falls Bridge from Zimbabwe into Zambia. Participants traverse a World Heritage Site, offering glimpses of wildlife such as elephants amid stunning landscapes. Beyond the race, Victoria Falls provides a backdrop rich in safari adventures and outdoor activities, enhancing the event's appeal to global participants.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the organizers innovated with the Vic Falls Virtual Marathon, enabling worldwide participation and maintaining community engagement despite travel restrictions. This adaptation underscored the marathon's resilience and global reach.
Supported by Zimbabwe's leading companies, the marathon not only promotes physical fitness but also stimulates economic growth in the region. It serves as a catalyst for corporate social responsibility initiatives and has catalyzed a broader fitness culture within Zimbabwe and neighboring countries.
Looking ahead, the Econet Victoria Falls Marathon is poised to further establish itself as a premier destination marathon, reflecting its remarkable journey from humble beginnings to international acclaim.

THE KILIMANJARO MARATHON - HIGHLIGHTS
The latest video
The Kilimanjaro Premium Lager Marathon, born in 2002 from a casual brainstorm over Kilimanjaro Lager, has evolved into a powerhouse event for Tanzania. Conceived by Wild Frontiers, the marathon aimed to blend sport with tourism, leveraging the iconic Kilimanjaro as its backdrop to attract global runners. In 2024, the event celebrated its 22nd year, a testament to its enduring appeal and the steadfast support of sponsors and athletes alike.
Initially modest, the inaugural race in 2003 drew a mix of international and local runners, numbering around 300 to 400 participants. Villagers curiously watched as runners navigated dirt roads, goats in tow, with timekeeping managed manually—a far cry from today's bustling event.
From its humble beginnings offering a full marathon, half marathon, and 10 km race, the marathon has expanded significantly. Today, it includes a Fun Run that caters to families and beginners, transforming the race day into a community celebration.
Central to its success are sponsors like Kilimanjaro Premium Lager, whose contributions have catapulted the event into a global spectacle. The marathon serves as a proving ground for Tanzania's rising stars in athletics, while also attracting top international talent. Participants from 45 nations converge annually, making it a truly international affair that transcends borders.
Beyond its athletic prowess, the marathon is a catalyst for economic growth and healthier lifestyles across Tanzania. Sponsors integrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, amplifying the event's impact on local communities and the national economy.
Looking ahead to 2025, organizers promise an even more thrilling experience, with plans to enhance both the lead-up to the event and race day itself. They encourage participation and engagement through social media, fostering a global dialogue around this flagship Tanzanian event.
In essence, the Kilimanjaro Premium Lager Marathon is not just a race but a cultural phenomenon—a testament to Tanzania's spirit of innovation and the enduring allure of Kilimanjaro.

RUNNING FOR HOPE: BONGOZOZO AT THE KILIMANJARO MARATHON 2025
APR 2025
ROLE: Producer & Editor
From the foot of Kilimanjaro… with a heart set on something far greater than the finish line.
On 23 February 2025, Bongozozo crossed the finish line of his 6th Kilimanjaro Marathon — but this time, he ran for more than just the medal.
This was his second time running in support of Tumaini La Maisha, an incredible organisation offering life-saving cancer treatment to children in Tanzania.
I had the privilege of putting together this short video to help share his story and mission—a small pro bono contribution from my side to a cause that deserves every bit of spotlight.
Every step Bongozozo took was for hope. For healing. For the future of our children.
The race may be done, but the mission continues.
