However, that was just the start of even greater things.
After graduating with a BCom Honours in finance at UCT, Zilimbola found employment at Investec Asset Management.
He then moved to Rand Merchant Bank and worked as a Senior Portfolio Manager for five years.
He then decided to take the plunge and start his own investment firm.
Mazi started in 2006 with two employees and no investor backing.
Briefly.co.zaunderstands that Mazi now manages assets which amount to a staggering R48 billion.
However, Zilimbola aims to grow this number to over R100 billion.
Considering their growth and numerous industry awards, its fair to say the mission has been accomplished.
