Later he joined the Telecommunication Company in 1998 as a qualified technical officer up until July 2007, when he heard about the launch of Soweto Community TV. After going for an interview, he was later offered a position at the community television station.

Zungu is so zealous about sport that he has a number of accomplishments under his belt, including: a diploma in tennis, Qualified Tennis coach with ITF Level Two, Coach for Soweto TV Soccer Team and a Certificate in Sport Administration with the Academy of Sport DNA.

Zungu says he would like to see himself as a sports presenter with relevant qualifications. “If I'm given the opportunity I would like to see myself executing my TV career with great ambition and pride. Because I'm passionate about sports I would love to be involved in other sporting codes and be a role model to the younger generation by acting with respect and integrity.”
