The Campaign
Twelve months. R250,000. Directly to Zinhle.
A Back a Buddy campaign has been launched to give Zinhle twelve months of genuine financial independence — travel to Johannesburg and Cape Town, living costs, wardrobe and performance readiness, and a ring-fenced marketing fund for when her debut single is ready to launch.
The target is R250,000. Every rand goes directly to her, held in a dedicated business account with joint signatory control — neither Phil Bölke nor Zinhle can access it without the other. If the fund size warrants it, an independent accounting firm will be appointed as a third oversight party. Nothing goes to ThatGuy Productions in any form. The studio, the production, the album — Phil carries all of that separately, at no cost to the fund.
