Tafadzwa Njovana is an experienced filmmaker, who has worked specifically as a writer, director and video editor. He is also a gifted voice artist, having worked with several high-profile brands.
Tafadzwa’s career in film and video was honed when he relocated to Cape Town, South Africa, to pursue his first love a BA Honours in Film Directing and Screenwriting. He has led diverse creative teams, including being the content lead for Christian Vision’s in-house publication, 1Africa, which was created to deal with the intersection of faith and popular culture. He currently straddles the worlds of writing and video as part of the team at Fortress Entertainment.
He is a lover of sport – specifically basketball (NBA) and American football (NFL) – though he is still working towards developing his knowledge of the X’s and O’s of both sports. He’ll watch and enjoy other sports too, especially when there are big, international competitions. His love of basketball has drawn him organically to love and appreciate sneakers – an area he writes about at Sneaker Fortress.
Between mid-June (when the NBA Finals end) and September (when the NFL season kicks off), he goes into a mini depression but uses his time wisely, reading and learning as much as he can. A fan of both MJ and LeBron, he refuses to be drawn into debates about who is the GOAT, preferring rather to channel that energy into other things like running The Reel Sauce, a YouTube channel celebrating the best of African screen entertainment in the streaming space.
Tafadzwa also learned to love sneakers through the avenue of hip-hop, having grown up in the era of Biggie, Pac, Dre and many other artists. Their fashion and sneaker choices spoke as much to him as their lyrics did, allowing him to write about that world even while pursuing his own lane as a creative.
