Khanyisile Molaba

Khanyisile Molaba is a seasoned journalist, creative entrepreneur, and community developer with over 10 years of experience across television, radio, print, and digital media. She has held impactful roles as a business and politics reporter, producer, editor, and broadcast researcher — including her work as a television producer for Newzroom Afrika, one of South Africa’s premier 24-hour news platforms.

In 2020, Khanyisile founded Dynasty Brandworx, a 100% African youth-led creative communications agency. The company was voted one of South Africa’s Top Gender-Empowered Companies and has partnered with major institutions like the UK-SA Tech Hub, providing access to digital literacy and entrepreneurship for over 3,000 youth and 200 women across Southern Africa.

She is a mentor on the All4Youth Sub-Saharan Africa programme, working with young women in Nigeria, South Africa, Malawi, and Namibia, and was recently appointed a mentor for the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Program. Her early media leadership began with The Wits Radio Academy, producing a financial literacy radio series for students across universities.

Khanyisile was named an Unsung Hero (2023) by Sunday World & African Bank, and a Gauteng Woman of Wonder, with ongoing support from The Graça Machel Trust, Future Females, and the U.S. Embassy’s AWE program.

As both a changemaker and a storyteller, Khanyisile uses the media not only to report on the world — but to reimagine and rebuild it.
