Durban Media House

Durban-based production studio that co-holds phonogram rights with Africori on the Digital Maskandi Vol. 1 compilation (2026).

Based in
Durban, South Africa

Durban Media House is a South African production company based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. It operates primarily as a video and photography studio, with IMDbPro screen credits on two South African television titles (a 2022 wedding special and a 2025 series).

In October 2026 it co-released Digital Maskandi Vol. 1, a compilation pairing established Maskandi musicians with artists from other South African genres including Sjava, Blxckie and Lowfeye. Streaming credits list Durban Media House as co-holder of the phonogram (℗) rights alongside Africori Music Group, the pan-African distributor, making this its one documented music-industry release to date.

No parent company or outside ownership has been identified; the desk treats it as independent pending further information. The company’s listed website does not currently resolve, which is the only reason this profile remains unpublished.
