Shado Twala (no relation to Mary Twala) got her break back in 1989 in a national presenting competition when she was selected as the Best Presenter.

Shado started her career as a personal assistant (PA) to a high profile figure in the North West National Parks Board. After that, she became the PA of Mark Lamberti who was the Marketing Director of Jazz Supermarkets. However, in 1989, she made a name for herself after winning the aforementioned national poll.
After her scholarship in New York, Namshado started her career in the 1980s at Bop Radio. She also worked for the Sunday Times, Old Mutual Jazz Heritage Magazine, Tribute Magazine, and Two Tone Magazine where she used to write a couple of articles. She wrote about several topics including democracy, art, women, and other things.
In the 1990s, she decided to pursue her love for music, Jazz music in particular, and established Khano Entertainment. The goal of the company was to produce music as well as nurture and develop local talent. They did not quite produce music on the level of Chicco Twala songs although Khano did manage to expand to other African countries.
Even with her growing firm, Shado did not stop at that. She was also involved in public relations as the media liaison and PR officer for Ebrahim Rasool from 2005 to 2008. Rasool was the Premier of Western Cape. Presently, she has another firm called Black Olive Entertainment. She is also the PR and Media Consultant for Just Mesh Creative Communications.
She has also had her voice featured in several commercials such as African Voices, Dennis Goldberg, Braam Fischer, Love featuring Mr & Mrs Walter Sisulu, Lillie’s Leaf Farm, and many more. Shado has also graced several corporate events such as Presidential Inauguration, Table of Unity, Grand West, M&G Metropolitan Breakfast, and others. To cap it off, she joined the MTN Hall of Fame in 2011 and chaired the panel of experts for the Gugulethu Street Naming process and the Cape Craft Design Industries. She is in the judging panel for not only South Africa’s Got Talent, but also Youth Radio Awards and The Mbokodo Awards.
