Durban, South Africa – For years, Durban’s creative community has had to watch as other cities develop world-class creative facilities. That is changing now. Motion Studioz is a facility designed by creatives for creatives, providing a space for Durban’s photographers, filmmakers, podcasters, influencers and content creators to collaborate and express themselves without restrictions.
The Dream Behind Motion Studioz
Mawandumusa Kheswa, photographer and filmmaker, winner of a 2025 Bambelela Business Award and Naledi Zondi, well-known art entrepreneur and 2022 KZNYB Award winner, are the visionaries behind this pioneering facility. The creative duo have spent years dreaming about a location that provides local creatives with everything they need to create, connect and earn. That dream is now reality.
With backgrounds in journalism, marketing, communications and the arts, the duo has spent time learning about the most common challenges that creatives face: inexpensive, functional and feature-rich workspaces. Motion Studioz responds to that need by providing a space that is not only visually appealing but also functional and community-orientated.
More Than Just a Studio: A Game-Changer for Creatives
The studio has a dynamic feature wall with two interchangeable setups that are ideal for product photography, brand campaigns, and eye-catching content. It also has a professional studio geared towards photographers, podcasters, entrepreneurs and digital creators who require high-quality production facilities.
Aside from that, Motion Studioz serves as a multipurpose event space, perfect for exhibitions, networking events and creative workshops. The studio is fully equipped with décor, flowers, backdrops, lighting, furniture and photography services, providing a comprehensive solution for all your creative needs.
As creatives, we often struggle to find locations that allow us to be bold and experimental without compromising our budget. Naledi Zondi describes Motion Studioz as “a home for visionaries, storytellers, and dreamers.”
The studio has already earned a name for itself by hosting one of South Africa’s most successful Sip & Paint events by Naledi Art, demonstrating that it is more than just a studio.
“Motion Studioz is open to anyone who is willing to dream, create and express themselves. “If you have a vision, the studio is your space,” says Mawande Kheswa.
It’s time to make the Durban creative scene great again!
Since its official opening, Motion Studioz has significantly impacted the creative landscape, inspiring creators to collaborate, enhance their productions, and envision projects that were previously unattainable. The future of creativity is right here at Motion Studioz.
