# Ster-Kinekor, South Africa’s biggest cinema chain, will shut its Cavendish Square cinema in Cape Town today, following a lease expiry. Its Gateway branch in Umhlanga closed earlier this month. Despite the closures, the company is shifting focus to e-gaming and educational programmes to stay relevant. CEO Mark Sardi says innovation is key. Rival Nu Metro will move into the vacated sites, ensuring moviegoers still have access to cinema experiences.
