Motswako was founded in 2000 by Abbey Maeane, Pula Setime and Maleshwane Radebe. It was established in response to social ills and the scourge of HIV/AIDS in particular, using the power of theatre to create awareness and educate. Through our programmes we have consistently been able to provide a platform for emerging artists to develop their skills and showcase their talents. Over the years, Motswako has grown to become a prominent arts institution in the region offering training programs, workshops, festivals, productions in theatre, film, and other performing arts disciplines. The centre has been collaborating with government, various organizations and stakeholders to promote arts and culture in mostly disadvantaged communities, nurturing talent and advancing careers of many artists socially and economically.
