King Zukha was founded in 2014 by Sakhe Jele aka Charles Rali in his quest to help impart skills in the entertainment industry to people from underrepresented areas, especially the young and impressionable people. King Zukha offers training and communities in the following areas cinematography, screenwriting, acting for both TV and stage, grip & electric, field sound, photography, make-up for TV, video editing and sound mixing. For a lot of the rural youth in South Africa, there’s hardly any extracurricular activities that bring boys and girls together. Things like sports require certain physical abilities making it less inclusive unlike creative art where for the most part, artists create from their head into the physical, visual and auditory world. Art is enjoyed by the young and old, this is why we have room for the older people as well, albeit the priority being the younger people who can still go on and have long careers in the industry should they have that much interest. Creating art can also teach the youth about the importance of the push and pull which they will end up dealing with in the workplace, irrespective of their chosen career.
