Actress, producer, and cultural force Zikhona Sodlaka is celebrating 20 years in the entertainment industry, and she’s doing it with purpose. In a year set to honour her impact, inspire others, and spark meaningful conversations, Zikhona kicks off her celebration with a nationwide masterclass tour designed to uplift and equip the next generation of creatives.
Zikhona’s career has spanned television, film, and theatre, shaping South Africa’s cultural landscape with powerful performances and authentic storytelling. Now, she’s stepping into a new role: mentor, teacher, and guide for aspiring talent across the country.
The Zikhona Sodlaka Masterclass is a space for creatives to grow, learn and be empowered, through guided and interactive engagement. Attendees will gain tools on owning their voice, navigating the industry and building longevity in the entertainment space.
“The broad stroke of storytelling in its simplicity is what storytelling is about and my interpretation of it is what I am excited to share; it’s about storytelling, self-belief and creating with purpose.”
“This industry has given me so much, and now I want to give back in a way that’s honest, vulnerable, and useful,” says Zikhona. “These sessions are not just about me – they’re about building the next generation of fearless creators.”
The tour will visit the following cities:-
