About Nafuna Campus

Founded in 2012 by Nqobizitha Mlilo, Nafuna Campus is dedicated to providing high-quality, industry-ready education and hands-on training in animation, video production, game design, and digital marketing.
Our Educational Philosophy

At Nafuna Campus, we teach out of necessity and vision. As Nqobizitha explains, "We teach out of survival, because we have to have a pool of people to draw from. Without that pool, we won't make anything. With more talent, we'll make a better product." This philosophy drives our commitment to democratizing access to world-class creative education in a region where professional animation training has historically required expensive overseas study. We believe that African creativity, combined with technical mastery, can fuel a sustainable creative economy across the continent.
