The founder
Milambo Mizinga.
A decade in the rooms where money gets decided — distilled into one academy. ZIVA was not designed in a marketing meeting. It was earned, class by class, student by student.
Every school has an origin story. ZIVA's begins with a pattern Milambo Mizinga saw again and again: intelligent, hard-working people — professionals, founders, families — who could earn money but had never once been taught how to command it. Not in school. Not at work. Not anywhere.
Over more than a decade of intensive masterclasses and thousands of hours of one-on-one coaching across several countries, one truth kept surfacing. The gap was never information — information is everywhere. The gap was structure: a curriculum that goes deep instead of wide, a community that holds you to your word, and a mentor who reads your actual numbers and tells you the truth.
ZIVA School of Business and Money is that structure, formalized. More than one hundred classes taught. Students from Zambia and far beyond. A curriculum battle-tested against real salaries, real debts, real businesses — refined every single cohort since.
Her standard has never changed: we measure our success solely by your financial outcomes. Not attendance. Not applause. Outcomes.
What the academy runs on
Four principles. Zero exceptions.
Depth over noise
One curriculum, taught properly, beats a hundred scattered tips. Every module exists because it changes a number in your life.
Proof over promises
Weekly assignment submissions are required in every program. Understanding is demonstrated, never assumed.
Mentorship over broadcast
Cohorts stay small enough for direct feedback on your actual work. That constraint is why seats are limited.
Legacy over lifestyle
The destination is not a better month. It is wealth with structure — built to outlast you.

Direct mentorship is the heart of ZIVA — and the reason every cohort is capped.
