Getting to New York in July 2025 is quite a quandary for a talented young Goldfielder who, despite winning a place in an amazing global platform, is battling to find funding to represent his country there, and not even the government is prepared to assist this young ambassador with funding.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 20-year-old Katleho (Emmy) Moleko from Virginia, has been invited to the Internation\u00adal Modelling and Talent Association (IMTA) convention in New York, America, taking place between 5 and 12 July. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it seems bureaucracy and red tape could dampen the shine of this up-and-coming young star even before it projects itself into international galaxy of stars.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko discovered his talent at a young age through a love for singing and acting. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This vibrant youngster studied drama in high school, which helped him refine his skills, and with the support from family and friends. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He realised early on that he could turn his passion into a career.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko is skilled in acting, modelling, and singing, and will join artists from around the globe in a bid to gain exposure. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To also connect with industry professionals.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September 2024, Moleko had the incredible opportunity to perform at the annual International Arts and Talent Showcase (IATS).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a platform designed to give African artists a chance to showcase their talents to international agents and managers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was at this showcase when I received a callback invitation to attend the prestigious IMTA convention,” says Moleko.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An excited Moleko says this is the perfect opportunity to elevate his career.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am eager to meet industry professionals, expand my network and, most importantly, showcase my talents on an international stage. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am also aiming to grow in our local and national industry,” says Moleko. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
“I am eager to meet industry professionals, expand my network and, most importantly, showcase my talents on an international stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
During the 2024 competition, he impressed international scouts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nKatleho (Emmy) Moleko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
From a young age, Moleko has been drawn to the arts. He first started with singing, but over time discovered his love for acting, and then came modelling. ”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has become an important part of my artistic journey,” he says.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko matriculated at the Ho\u00ebrskool Hentie Cilliers in 2022. He is currently pursuing a qualification in business studies at the North-West University (NWU).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko says his training includes singing and vocal lessons which he did at the Goudveld-Ho\u00ebrskool, as well as acting classes through his agency and also privately. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is professionally represented by the 33 and Me Talent Agency and is a skilled and talented multi-faceted entertainer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko is also a proficient vocalist and has received certificates and a music trophy from the ATKV for his performance. To be able to attend the IMTA convention in New York will be a dream come true, but attending such an event requires significant financial resources. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His father, Andries Moleko, has estimated that his son needs R150 000 to make his dream come. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
“This is steep sum of money for a youngster to amass to fulfill his dreams. We are praying for support to make this a reality.” <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
“This is steep sum of money for a youngster to amass to fulfill his dreams. We are praying for support to make this a reality,” says Moleko Snr.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moleko can be contacted on 063 950 1944 or, alternatively, by sending an email to emmymoleko@gmail.com to offer support on his physical, as well as his artistic, journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
