Jerry Mofokeng, a South African actor who has featured in a number of films and has a role in e.tv s soapie Scandal!, has been appointed as artistic director of the Performance Arts Centre of the Free State (PACOFS) in Bloemfontein.

Mofokeng will be taking a break from acting work but, according to a statement made on e.tv s website, says, I think it s impossible to completely cut myself out. It s just that I won t be able to take up major film engagements. But I ll continue to show my face here and there.

PACOFS is at the helm of theatre activities in the Free State province, providing an environment for artists to practice and perform their different skills and talents.

Mofokeng says PACOFS provides him with a platform to experiment and continues, PACOFS is providing a platform for aspiring actors, writers, directors and producers who want to make a mark in this industry. We don t have the pressure of time like those metro cities and so it means that we are an incubator platform. And so we really want to focus on providing first stages, first showcases and let people show us what they can do and be vulnerable in the way that they do their art. The facility allows us to go from the beginning of development to the stars.
