Slee Mbhele, the founder and Managing Director of Mzansi Gin. A proudly South African, black owned spirit brand.
Growing up, she would watch planes fly overhead and dream beyond the horizon — believing that not even the sky was the limit. That dream, born in the heart of a young Black girl with a big vision, has taken flight 30 years later.

With a strong background in science and leadership, Slee now channels that same passion and determination into building a brand that honours her roots, empowers others, and puts South African flavour on the map — one handcrafted bottle at a time.

The celebration of our heritage, our indigenous botanicals and the unbreakable spirit of ubuntu that connects us all “I exist because We exist”! Inqaba
