Zane Wilson (born May 1948) is a South African mental health advocate and the founder of the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG)..^[1]

Wilson was born in Skegness, England and later emigrated to South Africa. Her early professional background included entrepreneurship and business development prior to founding SADAG.^[2]

In the mid-1990s, Wilson began organising informal support groups for individuals experiencing anxiety and panic disorders in Johannesburg^[2]. These groups expanded over time and led to the establishment of the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG). Under her leadership, SADAG developed national helplines, community support groups, and public awareness campaigns addressing depression, anxiety, suicide prevention, and mental health stigma.^[3][4]

In 2012, Wilson received the Order of the Baobab in Bronze from the South African government in recognition of her contribution to mental health advocacy and public service.^[1]

Wilson has been profiled by several major South African publications, including News24, Mail & Guardian, Daily Maverick, Financial Mail, and Forbes Africa, which have documented her personal journey, the founding of SADAG, and the organisation's growth and impact^{[5][6][2][4][7]}
