What a day at the #CreativeCnergy2026 Policy & Investment Symposium πΏπ¦
From copyright, IP and funding to the power of film, music, fashion, design and digital content, one message came through clearly: South African creativity is not just talent. It is an economy. πΏπ¦

@EusMas Eustace Mashimbye warns that if fast-fashion buying trends continue, South Africa could see up to 30,000 jobs displaced across manufacturing and retail.
That includes creative jobs in the local fashion industry.

@EusMas Proudly South Africanβs role through Creative South Africa is advocacy: lobbying decision-makers, buyers and audiences to choose, watch, listen to and support local creative industries.

Now: Eustace Mashimbye, CEO of Proudly South African, takes the stage to speak about the Buy Local campaign and creative interventions.

His closing message is clear: the creative economy needs funding pathways that can grow with the industry, support new applications and unlock long-term value for South African film.

The incentive allocation is around R500 million per financial year, but demand from the industry is moving much closer to R1 billion.
That means the scheme is almost always under pressure.

βWe need to sustain the conversation and co-create a solution amongst ourselves.β
Deputy Minister Godlimpi calls for shared problem-solving between government, industry and partners to unlock more funding for film.

βFilm is going to be the best platform for us to do that.β
Deputy Minister Godlimpi says South African storytelling can help show the world a cosmopolitan, diverse society that lives with complexity and possibility.

A key challenge for policy: the creative sector often moves faster than regulation.
From mobile content creation to young influencers, government is often trying to respond to an industry that is constantly evolving.

@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv Coordination is also missing.
Pepsi Pokane says South Africaβs national, provincial and commission-level incentives need to work together more deliberately, instead of sending producers through multiple separate doors.

@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv βWe need to be allowed to innovate and fail.β
Nomsa Chabeli says one failed project should not write off a producer. The sector needs room to test, learn and build better work.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv Too often, producers move from one commission to the next, outsourcing everything, taking a narrow margin, then waiting for the next project.
The shift now must be toward building production businesses that can grow.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv A sharp point from Simon Makwela: the industry often funds the product, but not the business behind the product.
Production companies need stronger operational foundations, not only project-by-project survival.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv Financial institutions and development finance institutions still do not fully understand the creative industry.
That gap means the funding models available are often not fit for purpose for film and television.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SABCPortal @SABCNews @MultiChoiceGRP @DStv South African content financing is still too often handled project by project.
Nomsa Chabeli says the sector needs funding models that think more like franchises, catalogues and long-term value.

@SonyMusicAfrica @NYDARSA @nacsouthafrica @motionpictures Strong copyright systems are not barriers to creativity.
They are among the most important enablers of creativity, helping protect the value that artists, producers and creative businesses work so hard to build.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SonyMusicAfrica @NYDARSA @nacsouthafrica @motionpictures Karyn A. Temple of the MPA says South Africa is already a powerful global production partner, with world-class talent, skilled crews, diverse locations and growing production infrastructure.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026
@SonyMusicAfrica @NYDARSA @nacsouthafrica From policy to performance, the morning has been a reminder that the creative economy is not abstract.
It is artists, stories, stages, jobs, ownership, IP and industries in motion.
#ProudlySouthAfrican #LovedHereMadeHere #CreativeCnergy2026

@SonyMusicAfrica @NYDARSA @nacsouthafrica Moderator Tsenolo Africa pushes the conversation further, noting that the sector can articulate the problem well, but leadership must now show outcomes, process, security and trust for creatives.
