2026 — 2031 Programme Portfolio

Arts and culture as tools for healing, justice and excellence.

Seven interlocking programmes scaling nationally and across the continent — from stage and screen to community halls and intergenerational camps.

Performing Arts Against GBV

Theatre, performance and dialogue confronting gender-based violence against women and children — community performances, school engagements and ethically-managed survivor storytelling that drives prevention and behavioural change.

Arts & Culture WhatsApp Community

A national digital mentorship platform — acting classes, industry masterclasses, opportunity sharing and structured dialogue connecting emerging creatives to working professionals across the country.

Ubuntu Living Heritage Programme

Documentation, transmission and community activation of indigenous knowledge — oral histories, intergenerational dialogues, community storytelling and digital archiving that anchor youth identity and cohesion.

Television & Film Productions

Two flagship screen projects in development — elevating African narratives, training emerging creatives on real productions, and opening international distribution pathways.

Theatre & Musical Productions

Banyana Banyana Musical — A Beautiful Victory, The Musical ya Mama Yvonne, and the 2027 revival of Master Harold. Cultural storytelling that creates employment and national pride.

Strategic Cultural Partnerships

Collaborations with Sakhumzi Restaurant (Zoo Lake), Ramkiki Lodge, the Orlando Pirates cultural project and others — activating cultural tourism and the creative economy at scale.

Camps & Experiential Programmes

Corporate teambuilding, the Raising Stars Camp (fathers and sons), Ma-Grootman Men's Camp and Couples Camps — immersive spaces for leadership, identity, relationships and healing.

Phased Rollout

Years 1–2 build. Years 3–4 scale. Year 5 consolidate.

A five-year horizon to position SMKNF as a continental cultural institution.
