It was a pleasure to be part of the celebrations and being on the panel on animation at K-CAP, then witnessing the opening of their new animation lab!
This marks a big step forward for nurturing creative talent and opening doors for aspiring animators in our communities. Congrats to the K-CAP team and thanks to the sponsors & partners who made their vision a reality. Your support is empowering the next generation of storytellers and creators. Here’s to many exciting African stories, animations and opportunities to come.

It was an honour to attend the graduation of these talented animation graduates from the Durban University of Technology, to see how the short course we started two years ago has blossomed -and to learn that DUT is embarking on advancing it into a diploma in animation, then a degree!!

A sincere thank you to everyone who has been on the thrilling, nerve-wrecking, exciting, heart-breaking, PHENOMENAL, creative beyond words, Rambo-solutions Katanimate animation journey here in Durban with us so far. It started as an idea in my garage at home, then grew to the Sydenham Community Centre until our studio home now at the KZN Film Commission offices. Gratitude, Light and Love to the people who walked through our doors and those who are still to come.
