MBABANE: In a heartwarming turn of events for the arts community in eSwatini, former Channel S actor Anthony ‘Zuka’ Ntshalintshali has expressed his gratitude toward Stantly Dlamini, the Chief Executive Officer of the Eswatini National Council of Arts and Culture (ENCAC). This collaboration has opened doors for Ntshalintshali and his fellow actors to join the distinguished cast of the popular production, Isitha.
Speaking to Africazine on Thursday evening, the beloved eSwatini actor shared his enthusiasm about this latest opportunity. “We are truly excited about joining Isitha,” he said. “As actors, we take our roles seriously and will strive to represent eSwatini with the utmost respect and dedication, in line with the CEO’s guidance.”
Dlamini, in his inspiring address to the actors, emphasized the importance of portraying the nation positively. He urged them to put their best foot forward, ensuring that producers of Isitha see the immense talent and cultural richness that eSwatini has to offer. “If our representation on this platform is strong, we can encourage more collaborations in the future, which will undoubtedly benefit our local artists,” he explained.
Isitha, a production that has garnered attention beyond local borders, provides a unique platform for eSwatini’s actors to showcase their talent on a broader stage. The partnership with ENCAC and the inclusion of local talent like Ntshalintshali highlight a growing recognition of eSwatini’s distinct cultural narratives and artistic expression.
This exciting development not only spotlights the thriving arts scene in eSwatini but also reflects the country’s commitment to uplifting its artists and fostering a creative economy. As Ntshalintshali prepares for his new role, the hope is that this endeavor will inspire a wave of success for more local artists, paving the way for future productions that celebrate the rich heritage and artistry of eSwatini.
