The South African Roadies Association (SARA); a unique non-profit association comprising technical and production youth from all over the country, SARA is also the principle technical and production skills development and training organization in Southern Africa. For the past 16 years SARA’S On-the-job Entry Level Training Program has been (and still is) the main way that new blood has found its way into the professional ranks in South Africa.
After more than ten years of existence, the South African Roadies Association (SARA) was finally able to move into its operations facilities situated at # 55 Henry Nxumalo Street, Newtown, Johannesburg in 2004.This was enabled from funds raised primarily from the National Lottery Fund, and international partnership support among others.
The new facility now house (as per all in-house) skills transfer programs including an expanded resource centre and library, with adequate technical space for sound, lighting and staging equipment, administrative and workshop facilities.
The facility is named <SARA House> and the existing home of the only “Centre of Excellence” for Technical and Production skills in the SADC region.
