“I actually don’t know what to say, we’ve been working on this for over a year now and at the beginning I didn’t believe it”, Jiyane wrote on her Instagram post. 

“At every meeting I’d feel like this required more from me, it’s huge, I needed to operate at a level I didn’t even know I could reach. My team and I work really hard, words can’t describe this moment. Our hard work never went unnoticed. God really is the greatest (sic)”.

Jiyane also wrote that for her, the perfect business acquisition “has to be in synergy with who I am, as a DJ and a business woman. I believe that I’m the perfect mix of sophistication and power, attributes perfectly mirrored by the Boulevard board. With my signature touch, I see great potential for Boulevard Rose to reach new heights”. 

Boulevard Rose, a French sparkling wine brand, made the announcement of their new chief executive on their Instagram page, writing on one of their posts: “There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise! Let’s raise a glass to #BoulevardXDJZinhle [sic]”.
