The trailblazing theatre NPO Isithatha Trust joins Kaycee for Algoa Cares

Loading player...
Isithatha is the Xhosa word for a pinpoint of light in the distance that keeps us from despair.

We aim to promote the creation of a multi-functional facility accessible to people from both sides of the ‘Apple Express’ railway track that is suitable for all the arts, including dance, the visual arts, music and drama.

Isithatha’s mission is to bring a bright new light to a Greater Walmer encompassing Gqebera and the new developments along Victoria Drive and the Buffelsfontein Road.

We seek a radiance that will emerge from the darkness of past conflict, deprivation and ignorance and bring together people from different backgrounds who share a commitment to the arts.

Our major fundraising project right now is our BACKABUDDY CAMPAIGN.

Founding Trustee, Artistic Director and Drama Educator - Port Elizabeth's much-lauded Sharon Rother - fills Kaycee in on the incredible work her NPO is doing for those with a love of the arts.
