Local music promoter, Zenzele Hirschfeld celebrated her achievements, as the country’s best female promoter in the male dominated field at Sky Lounge in Gaborone on Tuesday.

The celebration was held under the theme, ‘The Lady, Her Strength and Her Friends’. Despite the challenges she encountered, Mama Zen, as most of her artists call her, is still standing tall and aims to walk taller this year and many more years to come to prove to her male counterparts that women also have the strength and capability of being the game changer in the local music industry.

According to the vice president of BEPA, Shima Monageng, who is also the co-founder of Millennium Jazz Festival, Hirschfield is a woman of substance who had seen and conquered it all. “Whatever she touches turns into gold.

She has the energy that many of us lack including me. Lets thank her for the journey of her life she well lived. Keep going up and up because the sky is the limit,” he said.
