Zama Shange was born on 20 June 2007 in Durban, South Africa. At the age of nine, he moved to Johannesburg, a transition that exposed him to a new environment and new possibilities.
By the age of eleven, he developed a strong interest in computers and art. He began experimenting with digital creation, learning design, visuals, and early development skills.
Around 2020, he founded BDL Corp (Burdolar), an underground creative initiative focused on social media marketing, strategy, videography, editing, and software development.
BDL Corp became a foundation phase where skills were built and refined.
Within it, he launched BDL News, a digital media and broadcasting branch. The project was later shut down due to legal complications.
Instead of stopping, he continued building, learning, and evolving.
This persistence eventually led to the creation of Sonke in 2026.
