Yini Loku is an independent gathering, co-working, and conferencing venue for artists and creatives in Mbabane. It is located at the Cinelux Building opposite the Magistrate Court corner of Gwamile and Mandela Street, Mbabane. Yini Loku opened its doors last year in June and was officially launched in December.
Last week, Yini Loku gave free masterclasses to videographers, photographers, and content creators about content creation through the local lens. The free master class in content creation was led by the Director of Phambili TV, Njabulo Mnisi. The session was about content creation through the lens. The event was made possible and funded by German Missions in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini and implemented by Yini Loku.
The attendees learnt a lot about how to create and present a compelling narrative that resonates with the audience across all social media platforms, as well as the importance of starting small and making intentional conscious steps to make one’s craft professional.
