WUSHWINI is an award winning arts and heritage centre that has been bringing hope to the rural community of Inanda and surrounds. Situated beside the scenic Inanda Dam, the Wushwini Community falls under the traditional leadership of Chief Bhengu, who is the Chairperson of the House of Traditional Leaders in KZN.
This poverty stricken area has a high rate of unemployment, gender based violence and many orphans and like most of South Africa, it is also faced with the very real problem of youth employability.
With this in mind Jerry Pooe, had the idea of establishing a “beacon of hope and light” in this very needy community. A haven for youth to develop and hone their skills in the arts and culture space.
