 == History ==
-The association was founded in 1980 as a subdivision [[Amfest]] of the [[Amateur Association of the Performing Arts]] (The acronym, [[AAPA]], is a very popular acronym found all over the world in numerous fields of endeavour). It initially had as many as 80 member societies and covered many aspects of theatre, including One- Act and Full-length plays, Dance, School Drama, and various theatre courses. Given the times, it was basically a white based organisation. It later became known as the [[South African National Amateur Theatre Association]] ([[SANATA]]) in 2000 was renamed [[SANCTA]]. Along with this change came the determination of incorporating other race groups into its activities, including communities from Soweto, Mamalodi, Hillbrow, KZN, North West, Duduza and Springs.
