Comedy Central, Heritage Day and Spitfire’s Katlego Baaitse. Serious?
Hola, heita, howzit – it’s Heritage Month, and there’s no country on earth that mixes it up quite like South Africa does. And no Director that likes mixing up people, comedy, performance and storytelling quite like Spitfire’s Katlego Baaitse.
Invited by Comedy Central to work with great comedic talents such as Mashabela, Peach van Pletzen and Schalk Bezuidenhout, and with cameos from musicians like Mpumi, Donald , Kurt Darren and Leah, Katlego created a series of tongue-in-cheek music videos celebrating South Africa’s resilience, diversity and, most importantly, our unique brand of humour. Demonstrating once again Katlego’s natural affinity for comedy and his ability to coax outstanding performances from his cast.
Spitfire can create outstanding performances for your work too. Contact us now to find out how to get your (creative) hole filled. Seriously.

MTV underwent a brand refresh in 2021 and we were approached by MTV Base to create new idents for the channel. They wanted something that was fresh and highlighted different dance cultures across the African continent.

"The lock down has really brought out many mixed emotions.
The one that I can say for sure regarding our president is pride.
This may seem crazy but the reason I am posting this video today is because I feel that Covid and Cyril might be a bit like The Rugby World Cup.
It’s is a great unifier and shows the empathy that we have for each other as a country. And that makes me feel proud, the same way we all felt proud and celebrated in the streets together when we, against all odds. Won the RWC in 95, 2007 and 2019!
Thank you to Grid and FNB for entrusting us with this project that superseded all our expectations.
May we all be together celebrating in the streets again in the near future"

Five influencers. A one day shoot. One great idea. That’s right up JT’s street. Standard Bank’s 10% Millionaire campaign is aimed at helping young people become millionaires by guiding them to push for their first R100k before the age of 30. And JT’s aim was to share their stories in the most engaging, most entertaining way possible.

Interviewing young ground breaking influencers like designer Bobo Moko, content creator Chad Jones and super young DJ Arch Junior (and his dad), JT worked fast and worked clever to put together six inspirational commercials that speak beautifully to Standard Bank’s target market – the future.
Check them out here. And then contact Spitfire to find out how JT can give your work 100%. And more.
