Ster- Kinekor Theatres
Ster-Kinekor Theatres is the largest movie exhibitor on the African continent. To most South Africans, the word ‘movies’ is synonymous with the name ‘Ster-Kinekor’.

What Our People Say
Advocate Motsepe
Content Marketing Assistant
"My life at Ster-Kinekor has been a roller-coaster ride. I’m no Drake but I too started from the bottom. I was a proper rough diamond starting out as an intern, I had ideas about my workplace which were quickly debunked, non-existing interpersonal skillset, I can go on, but you must work.
Ster-Kinekor allowed me to grow in so many areas of my life. I was challenged to get out of my shell. Growth really is challenging but when you have a mentor that sees your potential it makes it worthwhile. Over the years I have made great friends here and to be blunt I also didn’t make some. I have realised taste can’t be argued, we all perceive things differently, the main thing is to be professional.
Shoutout to SK man, I have thoroughly had some great moments.
I am working on some exciting projects with brands to make cinema cool. We want to deliver greatest moments with a bit of panache to endear the brand to our guests.
Allons au cinéma!
