Real Estate + Change

Z MED was established in June 2019 by Zahir Vallie when a neighbour suffered a heart attack and waited for more than 4 hours for emergency support. To save lives and drastically reduce the emergency response time in multiple Cape Town regions, the real estate entrepreneur poured in resources and brought together the local community to launch Z MED.

Zahir Vallie also founded ZPROP to help South Africans make smarter real estate choices.
