Background

When she started working at a community radio station and a local newspaper in her hometown, Worcester, viewers and listeners became familiar with her voice and face. In her early twenties, she moved to Johannesburg to work at a popular Afrikaans national radio station, quickly becoming a favourite. From there, she moved on to television as a news anchor. Many viewers could relate to and love her trademark greeting at the end of every bulletin. “Goedheid” en guns, goeienaand”, which” means goodness and mercy, good night.

God has granted me the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the best in the industry. I will be forever grateful to Him for allowing me to see how things are done with excellence.

Jenna-Leigh boldly shares her testimony of how she overcame domestic violence and infidelity at a young age in her first marriage. She uses her testimony for the glory of God and the expansion of Christian media. Her heart is to win more souls for Christ.

She hopes to impact lives, whether on a stage, radio, and television or behind a pulpit. God brought her from living in poverty in a squatter camp to overcoming many challenges. He brought her to a place of wholeness and hope. Together with her husband, Bishop Ed Bilong, she pastors a vibrant congregation in Newlands, Johannesburg called Grace Court Impact Centre. They have a passion for community development and head up various projects.

She published a few books; Goedheid en Guns and “Church Girl Problems.” Jenna-Leigh is also the proud founder of the Church Girl brand.
