ABOUT US

My name is Lelethu Jikela, and for the past 15 years, I have been mentoring young people between the ages of 16 and 26 from disadvantaged communities. Through this, I have developed their crafts, produced shows, and helped these young artists make their dreams come true.

​

Some of my proudest achievements include Initiating the Red Bull Corner to Corner Artist Development Programme alongside Red Bull South Africa for a two-year collaboration with Puma South Africa, featuring prominent local artists. In addition to this, secured a high-profile sponsorship deal for the artist Dee Koala with Adidas South Africa and orchestrated a collaboration with renowned musician Riky Rick, elevating the artist's career and expanding their reach in the industry.

​

This year, I hope to do bigger and better things. I have been diligently working day and night to bring the Jikela Music School programme to fruition!
