History
The Scene of ZA was started as an auxiliary platform, to understand its true history you have to go back to 2018, When Preshaan Dhanilall started Tech Scene ZA as a tech YouTube platform due to his passion for Tech content.
Then as that platform grew past just YouTube and gained recognition Preshaan began learning about the inner workings of journalism and media in South Africa and felt the need to publish all his sidequests with all his brand partners he works with as well as other content pieces shared with them and that was when in August 2025 in Johannesburg while Preshaan was Covering Comic Con Africa a Geek/Pop culture event and Festival of Motoring an automotive event, a friend suggested starting the “Scene of ZA” to encapsulate all the other content pieces therein leading to Travel Scene ZA, Automotive Scene ZA all of which ties back to the original Tech Scene ZA brand.
For a long while, Preshaan also battled with how to present this content, especially to brands and partners, because presenting just his personal social media wasn’t sufficient from his perspective, and in February of 2026, he purchased the domain, and the rest is history.
