Jay Badza, a renowned Zimbabwean branding and public relations expert based in Johannesburg, has tragically passed away at the age of 38. As the founder and CEO of the PR and
marketing agency Orchard On 25, he was known for his visionary approach and commitment to elevating young creatives. He once served as Bonang Matheba’s PR, further solidifying his reputation in the industry. His agency, Orchard On 25, confirmed his passing, marking a profound loss to the PR and
marketing community. Just last October, Badza had announced the expansion of Orchard On 25 into Zimbabwe and Kenya, showcasing his ambitious vision for growth. Funeral arrangements will be announced in due course. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
