Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Zakes Bantwini has added another feather to his cap by completing the prestigious Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports executive education program at Harvard Business School.
Celebrating the milestone on social media, Bantwini described the accomplishment as “more than a personal achievement,” highlighting it as a powerful symbol of African representation on the global business stage. The program, known for gathering industry leaders from entertainment, media, and sports, equips participants with cutting-edge business strategies and leadership skills essential for navigating today’s complex global markets.
The timing of this achievement was even more special as it coincided with Bantwini’s ninth wedding anniversary with his wife, celebrated media personality Nandi Madida, who publicly applauded her husband’s success.
For Bantwini, the journey represents a deliberate effort to bridge the gap between African creative talent and international business leadership — a mission that resonates deeply within the continent’s rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.
As he continues to blend artistry with entrepreneurial acumen, Bantwini’s Harvard experience positions him as a trailblazer, inspiring a new generation of African creatives aiming to conquer the global stage.
