About Me
Siyabonga Mkhize
I am an award-winning director recognised as the "Best Director in a TV Soap" at the SAFTAs 2016. With over 12 years of experience in the industry, I bring a creative and performance-driven approach to every project I undertake. My passion for storytelling runs deep, and my meticulous attention to detail ensures that each narrative resonates with authenticity and impact. I have an extensive understanding of every facet of the filmmaking process and thrive on the collaborative energy of working within a team to bring stories to life.
My expertise spans studio and on-location productions, and I also have extensive experience in live productions, including vision mixing and directing them to capture the essence of each moment. Some of my recent projects include directing for shows such as "Magaeng," "Ehostela" Season 3, "Uzulu NoMhlaba," "Champions S1," and handling location shoots for "7de Laan." I also had the privilege of serving as an executive producer for the highly acclaimed comedy show "STRICTLY VERNAC," which helped launch the careers of comedians like Mashabela, School Boy, and Nicholas Welch.
One of my most notable achievements as a lead director has been my work on "UMKHOKHA Season 1," which successfully transitioned into a hit telenovela. I am committed to creating compelling, emotionally resonant content that leaves a lasting impression on audiences.
