Late last year, Katlego Khambule a grade 5 Southdowns College Prep pupil, won a Cartoon Network Africa and Imagination Studios animation competition, by showcasing her excellent drawing skills.

After submitting drawings of two superheroes, as the winner, Katlego had the privilege of touring the animation and sound studio to see how they made her drawing come to life.

Over the month of December her animation, called the “Doodling Duo”, was played on Cartoon Network and she had interviews with the network and with SABC Kids News.

“I love drawing but I did not imagine that one of my drawings could be brought to life,” says Katlego. “I feel very lucky that I got to see what happens behind the scenes in the animation studio and the sound studio. It’s all so exciting. Thank you Imagination Studios and Cartoon Network.”

Her mother, Visa Khambule proudly added, “This was a great experience for her and for us family and friends. I wish to thank Southdowns College for encouraging them to do their best in Art. This competition will open again in April 2018 and I would encourage all her mates to enter too.”
