Umtata Community Arts Centre is located just outside central Umtata along the N2 road on the way to Durban. It was built by the Department of Arts and Culture in order to provide an infrastructure and a venue for the performing arts and to encourage more artists and would be artists who might want to consider following the arts as a career path.
Billy Dakada, well known for impersonating famous people such as former president Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu and many more, was instrumental in the establishment of this centre, and the centre now hosts a whole variety of activities for which the local community benefit.
