` PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR MANDLA N IN COVERSATION WITH T-BOSE

Loading player...
Born and raised in the streets of Soweto, Johannesburg, Mandla N heard this line and ran with it all his life. With influence from classic television shows such as Martin Lawrence, Mandla N has always known that he wants to be a trailblazing TV Producer and Director that tells authentic stories that people he grew up around can relate to.

Over the last 16 years, through his multi award-winning television and film production company, Black Brain Pictures, Mandla N has taken audiences through many examples of his hard work, creativity and heart.

Some of the words used in the industry to describe him are “a whirlwind of creative energy, a joker and the ultimate example of child-like energy”. We see these qualities come to light on some of his ground breaking TV shows such as Ses’top La, Side Dish, Abomzala, and the gritty Lockdown. 

He currently boasts over 20 SAFTA awards for his comedy and drama shows, as well as two Promax awards for his commercials. His international connects claim that Mandla N has only just begun. As he always says, “Let’s make kick ass television”.
