25th Mar 1987 1.74m/70kg Fullback

Zana played predominantly club rugby for George-based Progress until 2009, although he was part of the SWD U21 squad for the 2008 Under-18 Provincial Championship.

In 2010, Zana was one of ten club players identified by SWD Eagles Johann Lerm and was included in their squad for the 2010 Vodacom Cup competition. He made his first class debut in the opening match of the SWD Eagles' season, a 13–22 home defeat to the Free State Cheetahs.

His contribution was deemed enough to also warrant his inclusion in the SWD Eagles' squad for the 2010 Currie Cup First Division season.

He once again returned for the 2011 Vodacom Cup season, making six appearances for the SWD Eagles.

In May 2011, Zana moved to the Western Cape where he joined club side Belhar. He was subsequently included in the Boland Cavaliers side for the 2012 Currie Cup First Division season.

Zana missed the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition through a shoulder injury, but returned for the 2013 Currie Cup First Division, where he contributed 65 points in thirteen appearances to finish as the Cavaliers' top points scorer in the competition and ninth overall.

He contributed a further 37 points during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition and started the 2014 Currie Cup qualification tournament with a bang, as he scored 20 points (which included two tries) in their opening day defeat to the Griffons in Welkom.

He joined Kimberley-based side Griquas for the 2016 season.
