Business and Arts South Africa welcomes two
new team members to its Johannesburg office.
Onthatile Ditshego has moved into the new
role of Manager of BASA’s Education and Training Programme while former
Durbanite Mandisa Tshiqi has taken on the role of Administrative and Client
Liaison Officer.
“I am very happy about this new
opportunity,” comments new Administrative Officer, Tshiqi. “Being a part of
this team is something I've had my eye on for quite a while now. You know what
they say about positive energies ... I am eager to make a positive contribution
to the company and to work with everyone at BASA.”
Tshiqi graduated from the Durban University
of Technology with a National Diploma in Drama in 2009 and also has a BA
Honours in Drama and Performance Studies from the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
With a substantial amount of experience both on stage (Cameo Role Award for Coriolanus in 2009) and
behind-the-scenes (Best Stage Manager Award for ‘The Dining Room’ 2008), Tshiqi has enjoyed working and intern
stints at the Catalina Theatre, PANSA (KZN) and the National Children’s
Theatre.
In the new role of Education and Training
Programme Manager, Ditshego will oversee BASA’s newly developed three-tiered
Education Programme partnered with the National Arts Council, British Council,
National Lotteries Distribution Fund and Rand Merchant Bank. The latter is part
of BASA’s commitment to developing innovative educational programmes that seek
to ensure the relevance and sustainability of the arts in society.
“We
are delighted to welcome Mandisa and Onthatile to the BASA team,” says CEO,
Michelle Constant. “Currently the BASA team is both passionate and energetic,
and we look forward to growing our engagement in the sectors.”
