Johannesburg based Zweli Dube is a treasure trove of talent. He is an actor, presenter, voice over artist, performer and MC. Born and raised in Johannesburg, Dube studied Journalism and Media communication at Boston Media House.

His studies were however short lived when an incredible opportunity presented itself for him to be part of the sensational hit Broadway Musical, ‘The Lion King’ at the age of 20. The cast and production performed on two different continents namely Australia (2005-2007) & Asia (2013-2014). The assignment required acting, singing and dancing on stage, performing 7 shows a week, to fully booked audiences!

Now available to book through Conference Speakers, Dube, who possesses an enormous amount of talent, realised that this was the beginning of greater things to come and was set to soar in the world of television, film, stage and music. After returning from Australia in 2007, with his rich trademark base/baritone voice, Dube now focussed on making his debut on radio & television. In 2009 landing his first role in one of South Africa’s most watched television soapie, ‘Muvhango’ seen as Advocate ‘Pule’…..Zweli Dube shows off his ability to convincingly portray a character with multiple personalities.

His character grew and allowed him to become a leading ladies man to South African audiences. This also allowed him to pursue other avenues particularly in the television sport arena, joining the SABC Sport late night team in 2008 as a news presenter.

The power and versatility of Dube’s voice propelled him to even greater heights, spreading his wings from one television network to another.
