Who We Are
A single point of supply for the broadcast industry
Zimele Broadcasting Services (ZBS) supplies professional broadcast and media equipment to studios, outside broadcast operations, production facilities and playout environments from our base in President Ridge, Randburg.
Our supplier portfolio represents 31 international manufacturers — from Adder's IP KVM and AJA's converters to Shotoku robotics, Telescript prompting and ValueHD cameras. Organised into eight equipment categories, it covers every stage of the broadcast chain, so a single requirement or a complete system can be sourced through one specialist supplier.
- Broadcast specialists — we work in one industry and know its workflows, formats and standards
- A‑to‑Z portfolio — 31 manufacturers across acquisition, production, transport, communications, power and protection
- Technical services — a dedicated division supporting the equipment we supply
What We Do
Equipment supply, backed by broadcasting and technical services
ZBS operates two complementary divisions. The Equipment & Supplier Portfolio sources cameras, lenses, monitors, switchers, playout and media workflow systems, signal transport, intercom, prompting, camera support, power, lighting, test equipment and protective cases from the manufacturers we represent.
Our Broadcasting & Technical Services division supports studio, outside broadcast and playout environments — matching the right equipment to a requirement, managing structured project-based procurement, and taking approved quotations forward with a single point of contact.
Our Approach
How we work with our customers
Specification first
Every quotation starts from your requirement — a formal RFP, a tender specification or a simple equipment list — and is matched to it line by line.
Best fit from the portfolio
With 31 manufacturers to draw on, we are free to recommend the product that fits the format, the workflow and the budget, rather than a single brand.
One point of contact
From the first enquiry to delivery, one ZBS contact owns the conversation, so a multi-brand project is managed as a single order.
Established manufacturers
The brands we represent are long-established names in broadcast — several with more than 40 years in the industry and international certifications behind their products.
Technical support behind the supply
Our Broadcasting & Technical Services division supports the environments our equipment goes into: studios, OB vans, galleries and playout chains.
A current, documented portfolio
Our product portfolio is maintained as a dated document — the current edition is January 2026 — so what we quote reflects the manufacturers' current ranges.
Our Expertise
The full broadcast chain, end to end
The portfolio is organised so that every link in the chain — from the lens to the transmitter — can be specified and quoted together.
