Bio

Shaka Sisulu is a South African social activist, radio and television personality and entrepreneur in the media and technology sectors.

Born in Leipzig, Germany, he is the grandson of the late ANC veteran Walter Sisulu and the son of former Speaker of Parliament Max Sisulu.

Shaka is a co-founding member and executive director of the volunteer NGO Cheesekids, which has undertaken many community service initiatives in South African townships and informal settlements.

He is an Archbishop Tutu Leadership Fellow, sits on the advisory council of the Public Sector Excellence Awards and the boards of both Love Life and the Foundation for a Safer South Africa.

He was a talk show host on Talk Radio 702 and 567 Cape Talk, but axed from both after he took public office in 2013 when he became a member of the ANC Youth League's national task team.

In early 2014 he was the featured guest on Episode 6 of the first season of the e.tv reality cooking series Kasi-licious.

In September 2014 he presented the first episode of the four-part documentary series Rainbow Makers on SABC2, entitled "A Tribute to the Frontline States". The film's talking points are the intertwined backstories from Angola, Zambia and Mozambique which describe how three generations of Sisulus - Walter, Max and Shaka - came to be re-united after living apart, in exile for three decades.

In October 2014 he joined the National Youth Development Agency reality TV series Future Leaders for its second season on SABC1, in which he guided the season's mentors - Ndumiso Hadebe, Johan du Pisanie and Anele Ndzimande. In the series, contestants meet with inspirational public figures who offer leadership advice and career planning.

In 2016 he was one of four personalities to headline the SABC3 daytime talk show Trending SA, in which the panel and guests discuss trending hashtags of the day, commenting on issues that are currently active on social media.
