The Showmax and Actor Spaces partnership has premiered masterclasses every second Thursday on YouTube to empower the industry. The first masterclass was facilitated by the 2022 SAFTA Best Actor winner Bonko Khoza, followed by The Wife’s casting director, Ayanda Sithebe, on the art of auditioning. And then by Mandla N on authentic directing. Last week Layla Swart touched on how she produces locally relevant stories for the competitive international stage.
