Zamukwakha Independent Counselling and Advisory Services was established by Mzuvukile Malgas as a way of honoring his parents. The name is the fusion of his parent’s names Zamumzi + Nokwakha (Zamukwakha) A group of committed people of great potential, assertive and energetic, who are highly motivated for contributing their time, skills, and energies for the development and empowerment of socially disadvantaged, impoverished and vulnerable communities in South Africa as well as addressing poverty issues, health, and gender-based discriminations.

Where It All Started

It all started in 2015, Mzuvukile Malgas the founder and the CEO of the organization wanted a way of honoring his parents who played a major role in crafting his future and became a social worker. “I decided to start an organization and name it after my parents. My father’s name was Zamumzi and my mother’s name was Nokwakha I fused their names and came up with Zamukwakha Independent Counselling and Advisory Services”. My parents taught us the principle of sharing the little we have with other children. The organization’s principles revolve around that. Even our motto is “Caring through development”. I then recruited a group of committed people with great potential, assertive and energetic, who are highly motivated for contributing their time, skills, and energies for the development and empowerment of socially disadvantaged, impoverished, and vulnerable communities in South Africa as well as addressing poverty issues, health, and gender-based discriminations. We are based in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality in Ward 45, Ilitha Township
