Local talent try to keep busy
Although acting classes are on hold due to restrictions, Daniel and Violet Maseka, owners of Icons Talent Management based (ITM) in Ratanda, still manage to book jobs for their talent.
“As a company, we are pushing although the country is going through a lot. We are managing to still book jobs for our talents. The industry is not as open as we would like it to be, but we are doing our best for our talent pool,” Daniel said.
The up-and-coming actors had the last physical acting class in May.
Phumelele Jele, at student at ITM, will be cast on television series The House of Zwide, which will start July 19 on eTV.
Sanele Twala, who was seen on Gomora, and Mthokozisi Madondo will also be cast in the same series.
“We are filming a short film where we have partnered with an up-and-coming filmmaker. Going forward, we are looking to develop and produce our own content where talents will work on these productions.
We are looking forward to the ease on restrictions and decrease in Covid cases, so we can work as we used to,” Daniel added.
