Problem Statement

     With the arrival of the internet, reality television, advanced technology, we have seen our level of communication, teaching and interacting change during the past twenty years - the arrival of the internet, the emergence of reality television and many advanced forms of technology that today provides:

     Communication
     Education
     Entertainment

     Storytelling, as being one of the oldest heritage forms of traditions are risked to disappear completely.
Kwesukela believe that storytelling is a useful tool, especially in today’s national environment of CRIME, CORRUPTION, SOCIAL PROBLEMS, ECONOMIC CHALLENGES and ENTERTAINMENT, a crucial medium to bring to our people. 

     Our programes provide jobs for storytellers, as they participate in national and international festivals.
