After studying at Potchefstroom University, where Dustin got his Honnours in Video Production, where he did an internship with Aquavision. 
He decided to travel the world and worked on a cruise ship filming passengers on their excursions and parties,cutting inserts and compiling it on DVD to be sold to the passengers.
He was scheduled to go back but got offered a job as a cameraman for E.S.A (Extreme Sports Angling).

Bonga Zondo
Assistant Editor

At the Durban University of Technology I studied Journalism, majoring in Broadcast Television. I joined Aquavision in 2008 as an intern and eventually made my way up to Assistant Editor. I have since worked on Catching Giants as well as two series, Cameramen Who Dared and Africa’s Deadliest.

 

Coming from a Journalism background meant that exposure to the television industry was very limited, but my love for wildlife and my eagerness to learn is what drives me forward, allowing me to push all the boundaries of my capabilities.
