The beginning...

Local is lekkerrr!

This Web site has been designed to promote businesses located in the Zambesi Drive area in Pretoria.
(Boundaries - Lavender Road (Die Poort) in the West, Mountain in the South, N4 in the North and the end of Zambesi Drive East)
In other words in the areas of Montana, Magalieskruin, Sinoville, Doornpoort, Annlin and Wonderboom.

Myself (Mark) , and Jannion have been living in this area for a number of years. The growth of new businesses in this area has been phenomenal and much to our frustration (on top of the roadwork's), it is almost impossible to find business in this area on the net. Some of them have a web site, but if you don't remember the name of the company how do you find them?

Remember when you drove past that shop, and now you can't seem to remember where you saw it? You know there is a lot of GP's / Attorney's etc but can't find any in the white, or yellow pages. Exactly - and so the seed was planted for the creation of www.onzambesi.co.za

The idea for this site is for it to become a household name in this area, so you may return to it numerous times to conveniently find what you where looking for!

Please email us with any suggestions to help you and us in creating a more efficient site -

Find things by keyword, category, or centre...

The site was written so you may find what you are looking for from the word go! No more frustration looking for products, specials, contact numbers, addresses and location of businesses.

You may search by keyword (shoes, toys, dentist, or company name etc). The category listing on the left bar is a easy jump menu for you to find a specific product. The search link on top directs you to a search page where you may even browse shops within a certain shopping centre.

THE BUSINESS CARD: Once you find your product/ company you will end up by viewing a detailed business card of that company. This card informs you of important information (contact details, web site etc) of the business but also:

• Product listing: The business might inform you as to any of its products/ specials etc. This information will be displayed below the business card.
• Directions with Google maps: A map will also be displayed in regards to locating the whereabouts of the business..
