KATLEHO SHABALALA

DIRECTOR | WRITER | RESEARCHER

Katleho is a director with a keen eye for storytelling, using the lens to craft commercials that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant. His journey began after graduating from TUT, starting as a director’s assistant and researcher, collaborating with some of the most respected names in film, commercials, and photography. Over the years, he has directed work for top brands like Discovery, DStv, and South African Tourism, while also lending his writing expertise to campaigns for Discovery and Super Sonic.

Beyond the commercial space, Katleho is a storyteller at heart, bringing narratives to life through his work with industry leaders like BlackBrain. His portfolio spans photography, editing, and script supervision for Gomora on Mzansi Magic. He specializes in utilizing classic film techniques to create a modern feel, ensuring every project is both timeless and innovative.

His artistic mission is clear—to amplify the African narrative by telling South African stories with authenticity and highlighting the significance of queer narratives in the public consciousness. Whether directing high-impact commercials or shaping long-form storytelling, Katleho brings a bold and colorful perspective that mirrors society in its rawest form.
