SIBUSISO PROJECTS

Hi, I’m Sibusiso, storyteller and digital content creator, from Dundee in KwaZulu-Natal. My calling is videography. I’m excited and proud to be a part of the Storytelling Hub. Let me wield my craft to tell the story of your business.

I truly believe that if a picture can paint a thousand words, a video can paint a thousand more!

CHEKELEKE

Hi I’m Nkuli, founder of Chekeleke. I grew up in the townships of Ntuzuma and Katlehong. Travelling taught me to see things differently and I became a storyteller as a result – sometimes I even told true stories! I’m a keen photographer and that is how I ended up at the Storytelling Hub. I’m so excited to be a part of this great initiative and can’t wait to wow you with our stories.

I became a questioner: 'Why do we do things this way?' or 'Why is that weird here, but cool there?'

It’s a win all round, because we believe in Action Learning – as part of their practicals, these interns will produce storytelling content for selected small businesses identified through SimplyBiz,
as well as content for SimplyBiz itself.
