AMPD STUDIOS CLOSURE (17 JUNE 2025)

AMPD Studios isn’t just a studio, it’s a launchpad. Tucked in the heart of Newtown, Johannesburg, AMPD Studios has been a game-changer for South Africa’s creative youth. Designed with a bold vision to democratise the entertainment industry, it’s a cutting-edge space where aspiring musicians, podcasters, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs could dream loudly, and actually bring those dreams to life.

Closing AMPD Studios would be more than losing a building, it would be silencing a channel of possibility for thousands of young creatives. It would mean:
+ One less safe, accessible space to learn and grow.
+ Fewer platforms for youth voices and local talent to be heard.

+ A step backward in building a self-sustaining creative economy.
+ A blow to community development and youth empowerment in a time when
we need it most.
