Laszlo Bene has been a guest lecturer at the South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance (AFDA) since 2010 at AFDA's Cape Town and Johannesburg campusses.
"I am excited to head up the television school of AFDA in Durban," says Laszlo Bene.
"I believe this newest AFDA campus has the potential to not only produce future television professionals in the KwaZulu-Natal area but through this has a chance to grow the local industry as well".
