Nyarai Chapingidza

With a career shaped by experiences across three countries and diverse cultural and media environments, Nyarai brings a unique understanding of the connections between Africa and its diaspora. Her work in Australia has given her valuable insight into the experiences, achievements and stories of African communities living abroad, while her professional experience in Zimbabwe and South Africa has kept her closely connected to the continent and its evolving media landscape.

Soko Media is the result of the merger between Soko and Naleli, bringing together shared expertise, networks and a passion for telling authentic stories that connect Africa and Australia. The merger reflects a vision to create a stronger, broader media platform capable of amplifying African voices, celebrating culture and identity, and creating meaningful connections across borders.

Building a Trusted Media Platform

As Managing Director, Nyarai is committed to growing Soko Media into a dynamic and trusted media organisation that tells compelling stories, creates opportunities for communities and businesses, and provides a platform for African voices and perspectives to be heard both in Australia and internationally.

Her leadership is grounded in a belief that powerful storytelling can connect communities, bridge cultures and create lasting impact.
