The South African gaming industry has experienced significant growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 4.7% since 2020.
To further stimulate this growth, a team of collective entities in the gaming industry, collectively known as “the Game Changers” consortium, has secured R12.9 million funding from the National Treasury's Jobs Fund initiative.
The consortium, comprised of key players in the gaming, educational, training and content industries and aims to develop six SMMEs, create 152 jobs, and train 121 young people in the local gaming sector over the next two years. More from Raymond Ledwaba, CEO of ITTHYNK.
