The South African media and entertainment sector is currently outperforming global benchmarks and experiencing significant growth. According to PwC data, the industry's revenue is projected to climb from R289 billion to over R320 billion by 2029. This massive influx of capital makes it an ideal time for professionals to enter the space, as the industry is expanding rapidly across various creative sectors.
Johannesburg, specifically within the Gauteng province, serves as the literal engine room for the country's creative output. It generates approximately half of South Africa's entire creative economy output and hosts up to 85% of all film and television activity. For those looking to start a sound engineering career, Johannesburg is where the high-stakes work and major industry energy are concentrated.
The Academy of Sound Engineering, or ASE, is uniquely positioned for students because it is physically located inside the SABC buildings in Auckland Park. This location allows aspiring sound engineers to study from within the 'belly of the beast' of the South African media landscape. Being situated inside the national broadcaster's facilities provides students with unparalleled proximity to the heart of the professional industry.
