Innovative use of cinema sees Ster-Kinekor collaborate with House of Rampedi for a live podcast
Don’t miss this groundbreaking, first of its kind, digital-meets-cinema experience
A new and exciting use of a cinema space to present a groundbreaking collaboration marks a significant milestone in entertainment innovation. Leading cinema exhibitor Ster-Kinekor and The Rampedi Media Network are joining forces to present a fusion of digital content creation and live entertainment. The initiative, spearheaded by the visionary Thato Rampedi, represents a revolutionary approach to experiential events that bridges both the digital and physical realms of entertainment.
Taking place on Thursday, 17 July from 18:00 at Ster-Kinekor The Zone Rosebank, the red carpet will be rolled out as Ster-Kinekor and House of Rampedi flip the script, bringing digital storytelling to the big screen with a unique version of “Seated with Lebo and Thato“, and you can have front row seats! From timeline talk to real-time energy, House of Rampedi Live features some of SA’s boldest voices in a one-night-only podcast takeover.
Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor, says:
“Looking at ways to repurpose our cinema space for events other than showing top-rated films is very much on our radar. For this reason, we are very excited about this upcoming collaboration opportunity with House of Rampedi to host an interactive podcast recording with a live audience at one of our premier cinema complexes. Tickets are already in high demand and, based on the reaction to this event, we are looking forward to hosting other similar activities in the months to come.”
At the heart of this collaboration is The Rampedi Media Network, a dynamic content creation powerhouse built around Thato Rampedi’s creative vision. As both a content creator and strategic mind, Thato has cultivated a network that spans multiple successful ventures. His journey alongside his brother Lebo in “Seated with Lebo and Thato Rampedi” offers audiences authentic conversations about manhood, relationships, and personal growth, while his role in developing “Thought Digest” illuminates the multifaceted experiences and complexities of womanhood.
Thato Rampedi of The Rampedi Media Network, explains:
“The network’s ensemble, AsMajita – featuring Percy ASF, Gontse, Lebo, and me, has become a testament to the power of creative collaboration. As a collective, we consistently push boundaries in digital content creation, bringing fresh perspectives and authentic storytelling to our audience. The network’s success in brand collaborations with industry leaders including Woolies Beauty, Kotex, Chappies, Coca-Cola, Redbull and MrD showcases and is testament to our ability to create engaging and innovative content that resonates with viewers.”
This exclusive live experience at Ster-Kinekor’s premium Rosebank venue, The Zone, promises to transform traditional entertainment boundaries. Audiences will witness live recordings of beloved podcasts, including “Seated with Lebo and Thato” and “Thought Digest”, hosted by Mammi_Dearest and Caiah, experience AsMajita’s magnetic chemistry in person, and be the first to hear two groundbreaking podcast announcements, all within a state-of-the-art cinema with a premium sound system, big screen experience and unparalleled comfort.
This event represents more than just a live show – it’s a testament to the evolution of entertainment, where digital creativity meets theatrical presentation. Under the leadership of Thato Rampedi and creative director Mbali, who has helped shape the network’s visual identity, this collaboration promises to deliver an unprecedented immersive experience that will redefine the future of live entertainment.
Guests will experience some of their favourite digital creators live on stage and can engage in interactive sessions with them.
Rampedi concludes:
“This is a once-off event, so don’t miss out on the historic collaboration that’s set to redefine the landscape of live entertainment, bringing together the best of digital content creation and theatrical experience under one roof.”
