The Jacob G Zuma Foundation invites appropriately skilled and well-resourced Local and International Service Providers, including Production Companies to compile and produce a comprehensive Documentary on H.E President JG. Zuma.

The documentary should cover no less than the seven topics listed below, which should be considered as a guide, but not to limit bidders if they wish to expand beyond the list below:

1) The historiography of President Jacob G. Zuma: mapping it from childhood to early involvement in the struggle for the liberation of the People of South Africa.

2) Conditions leading to his departure for exile.

3) Intense chronological account and narrative of his life as a freedom fighter and a political prisoner.

4) Return and role in the re-establishment of the African National Congress (ANC) structures in the Republic of South Africa.

5) Role in the negotiated political settlement in the Republic of South Africa.

6) Rise to the leadership of the African National Congress and the country - deciphering all critical moments that defined the evolvement of the post-apartheid political economy within the country and how these brought themselves to bear on the African National Congress.

7) Highlights of his role in his tenure as the then President of the Republic of South Africa.

In conclusion, bidders must demonstrate how they will mobilise resources to make this project a success.

Please Note:

Partnering with local/international companies in the film and documentary production with relevant experience or track record in the industry will be an added advantage.
