Congratulations to Ms Shally as she was selected by BET International to organize the BET International event in Los Angeles leading to the BET Awards and to do concerts on a global scale to bridge the African and American culture together.
Ms Shally real name Shaleen Manhire Nullens is a Zimbabwean born businesswoman based in South Africa. She is Ginimbi’s former manager and the owner of a number of businesses such as Conquered Events and Conquered TV, Roar Entertainment Africa.
Ms Shally started by working in her father’s business at the age of 14.
Her first job was as a tea girl for her father’s Zimbabwe-based consulting firm. She moved up to a role as a typist, then to his personal assistant by the time she was just 16.
It was a family setback that caused her to think about entrepreneurship. Her father had a stroke in 2010 and his business began to falter, and while his hospital bills were mounting, his company’s revenue was dropping. The family sold off all of their cars and withdrew money from their savings. She took over her father’s responsibilities at work to keep the company running, but it was hard. His clients knew her because she had been working for him since she was 14, but they only wanted him to oversee the projects. They only felt comfortable with him on board and when he was incapacitated, they cancelled their contracts.
She bankrolled her first business L’eau Choisie, which is a bottled still water brand based in Zimbabwe and South Africa, by working side jobs together with her husband.
Ms Shally led a team that hosted the first-ever African Leaders 4 Change Awards (ALCA).
Ms Shally founded Conquered events, and entertainment online television channel- Conquered TV. In the first season of Conquered with Ms Shally, she interviewed Lira, DJ Sbu, Maps Maponyane, Gert Johan-Coetzee, Mampho Brescia, Carol Tshabalala, Ricky Rick, Banky W and Olivier Laouchez.
