THABANG Malaza's a true example that if doors for success do not open, just create your own.
After many failed attempts at getting roles on dramas and films, the promising actor and filmmaker has started a production company.
The 22-year-old content creator from Bronkhorstspruit, Tshwane, has started to produce short films and give others a chance to showcase their acting talents.

He told SunBuzz they have managed to produce many short films such as Inhlupheko Luzisi and Ubizo.
"We've produced educational and entertaining short films. I’m also a scriptwriter, director and actor on them.
"I decided to do it for myself and the youth of my area to showcase our acting talent while we entertain and educate people," he said.
Thabang said the short films are available on his YouTube channel called Thabang Malaza.
He said producing short films helps them to stay off the street.
“Our area, Bronkhorstspruit, is a boring place and if we don't keep ourselves busy we might end up doing bad things,” he said.
