Makheni Zonneveld is not your average ouma. Dubbed ‘The queen of reinvention, Zonneveld is known for being an international speaker, facilitator, coach, and performing storyteller.
The energetic 68-year young granny has always been known for defying her age and successfully reinventing herself into completely different careers ranging from a mathematics lecturer to executive leadership and everything in between. 
At age 58 she did what seemed like the biggest reinvention of her life. She followed her heart to a new continent where she learnt a new culture and her 14th language. 
This South African now resides in Noordwijkerhout, a small town along the west coast of The Netherlands.
Now she has outdone herself with the latest reinvention – becoming a singer-songwriter in a genre that is not normally associated with grey-haired grannies. 
She's written, composed, and performed a 14-language Afro-pop song that's become the theme song of The Free Health Club - a free online service with one objective: To get the world walking, dancing, and making healthy lifestyle choices. 
The club is in the form of a weekly show, Free Health Club TV on YouTube that is driven by viewers’ questions. The TV show is going to start in January 2022.
