Established in 2013, Eyethu Lifestyle Centre was founded by Mandla Tshabalala. As a premier art and entertainment venue, Eyethu is a cultural hub in Soweto - a cosmopolitan area that is home to more than 2.5 million people and is renowned for setting trends as well as its plethora of cultural treasures. Through Eyethu, the Tshabalala family is rebranding this cultural hub by establishing a precinct that will contribute towards the promotion of the arts ecosystem in Soweto. As Eyethu Lifestyle Centre we host an array of functions, including private, corporate and government functions. Through a range of initiatives and events such as art exhibitions, wine tasting evenings, live band performances, night markets and book fairs, we seek to be the ultimate art and entertainment venue in Soweto.
