Isaac Sithole is a South African theatre practitioner, creative director, and arts development leader serving as the Managing Director of Generation of Star’s. With extensive experience in theatre production, youth development, and cultural programming, he has built a career dedicated to using the arts as a vehicle for social transformation, skills development, and community empowerment.

Isaac holds a qualification in Human Resources Management from Damelin and has furthered his studies in Business Studies at the University of South Africa (UNISA). His academic grounding in management and business administration strengthens his capacity to lead sustainable arts initiatives, manage multidisciplinary teams, oversee budgets, and maintain strategic partnerships with public and private stakeholders.

Originating from Sharpeville in Gauteng, Isaac began his artistic journey at a young age and has since developed into an accomplished actor, playwright, director, and visual artist. His body of work reflects a strong commitment to telling socially relevant South African stories while nurturing emerging talent through structured workshops and community theatre programs.

Among his notable productions are 21 March Sharpeville Massacre, Washonaphi, and DIKAKAPA (directed by Lebeko J. Nketu), as well as Kgetho, which he wrote and directed. DIKAKAPA received Blue and Bronze Standard Bank Standing Ovation Awards at the National Arts Festival in 2017. In 2022, Kgetho earned a Bronze Standing Ovation Award at the same festival. His work has been recognized by the Gauteng Ishashalazi Programme as a Most Promising Production and won the Zwakala Theatre Festival hosted by the Market Theatre. He has also received four nominations at the Naledi Theatre Awards.

In addition to conventional theatre, Isaac has demonstrated innovation in large-scale puppetry and visual arts programming. He has collaborated with the SAGURU Giant Puppet Company and served as Artistic Director for Meet My In-Laws in partnership with the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation and the French Institute of South Africa. These collaborations have enabled cross-cultural exchange and participation in theatre and street festivals across Africa and Europe.

As a facilitator, Isaac has led numerous youth theatre workshops, mentorship initiatives, and community arts development programs. His leadership model integrates artistic excellence, structured training methodologies, and measurable community impact. He is committed to expanding access to arts education, professionalizing emerging artists, and building sustainable creative platforms that contribute to local economic growth.

Through strategic leadership, creative innovation, and a strong governance foundation, Isaac Ezaiah Sithole continues to position Generation of Star’s as a transformative force within South Africa’s cultural landscape.

As Molwantwa transitions into his teenage years, Mampho entrusts him with a crucial task: to deliver a massage to the elder, Mphephethwa, a figure of great reverence known to Molwantwa only through the stories woven into his childhood. Bound by love and loyalty, he embarks on a perilous journey, clutching the massage tightly, aware of the sacred promise he made to his aunt never to open it.
Through trials and tribulations, Molwantwa's determination shines as he faces various challenges, each testing his resolve to protect the message he carries and honor his aunt's wishes. Their bond is palpable, as Mampho often reminds him that he is a blessing in her life.

The 10th Tembisa Theatre Week marks a profound milestone in South Africa’s cultural landscape, a decade of courageous storytelling, community building, and artistic excellence rooted in the township. This year’s celebration is not only a reflection on the journey travelled, but a powerful affirmation of the future of the arts.
At the heart of this historic edition, we honour Mpho Molepo, an iconic and legendary theatre practitioner and administrator whose unwavering commitment has shaped institutions, nurtured generations of artists, and strengthened the cultural ecosystem of our country. His work stands as a testament to leadership, discipline, and an unshakeable belief in the transformative power of theatre.

As we gather from 21 February to 1 March, the festival becomes a living archive of legacy, vision, and possibility a space where the past, present, and future of theatre meet.

Woz’bloma nathi.
We celebrate our own.
