šLeader of the Week: Eli Zaelo
Hey High Tide!
My name is Eli Zaelo. I am multilingual singer from Pretoria, South Africa. I sing C-Pop, Western pop and Afropop music. I also enjoy dancing and Iāve been fortunate enough to be in a movie or 2 ...or 8! So basically Iāve been bitten hard by the entertainment bug and Iād consider myself to be a triple threat.
I also enjoy swimming. I live for a good beach day!
Iām passionate about various things but here are 3 that I can think of right now:
Multiculturalism and Cultural Exchange
Iām passionate about multiculturalism and the beautiful exchange of cultures in an authentic, respectful and informative way.

Go-getters
