ERIKA KLOPPER
SERIES PRODUCER
Pioneering, courageous, dependable and vastly experienced, Erika Klopper is at the forefront of African TV production with an unusually detailed understanding of the broadcast TV environment.
Erika is among the most respected and proven of Africa’s top producers. Her career began at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) where she worked on multiple productions including the FNB Music Awards, Mzeewa 26 and the Loerie Awards. Today, she is a deeply skilled Production Head whose portfolio is as impressive as it is diverse, ranging from feature films (such as Chicken Bizniz and Zoop) to dramas (like Snitch, Tropical Heat & Trackers), reality (such as Fear Factor and Big Brother) and live shows (like Mike and the Mechanics in concert). After the SABC, Erika moved to renowned production company Endemol South Africa as a production accountant working on the award-winning soap opera Isidingo. Her innate instinct for what qualifies as good quality programming soon saw her move into production, where she produced and executive produced a number of successful titles for the company before being appointed as Head of Entertainment and Infotainment.
Always looking to break new ground and focussed on challenging assignments, she helped to expand Endemol’s network across Africa, establishing enterprises in Namibia (2004), Nigeria (2005) and Kenya (2006). During this time she produced the talent search Project Fame in East Africa. In Nigeria, she produced M-Net’s first Nigerian drama series Doctors’ Quarters, the game show Deal or No Deal Nigeria, Big Brother Nigeria and Amstel Malta Box Office. In Namibia, she served as Head of Production overseeing multiple shows including the talk-show What Women Want, the choir competition Voices and the talent search Battle of the Bands for the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation.
Having demonstrated her capacity and resourcefulness, Erika was head-hunted into the position of General and Programme Manager for M-Net Nigeria (2007 - 2010), mandated to deliver of the company’s vision for this influential market. Based in Lagos for 3 years, she was responsible for coalescing M-Net’s aspirations for local content creation into a solid asset when she helped to establish Nigeria’s first multi-camera soap opera Tinsel - today recognised as the longest running soap in West Africa. In addition, she recognized early on that there was a pressing need for original format creation and helmed the creation of the reality format Naija Sings. Erika was also instrumental in the setting up of M-Net’s first studio facility in the country, which became a vital cornerstone of the company’s expansion into creating relevant, home-grown content for local audiences.
Upon her return to South Africa, with a well-deserved reputation for being ballsy and calm under pressure, she was appointed Head of Production for the M-Net Africa and Africa Magic channels, at a time when the Africa Magic brand was just beginning what would become a remarkable rise to pan-African prominence. Over the next 7 years, Erika carved out both a formidable repertoire of hits for the company and a vast network of partnerships. During her time with M-Net’s Africa division, her executive production portfolio grew to include 53 Extra, Jara, Comedy Club: Live in Lagos, Kampala and Mombasa, the AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards I, II and III plus the AfricaMagic Original Films project. This growth happened alongside her broadcasting portfolio of shows like StarGist, Naija Sings, Guinness 250 Music Concert, Face of Africa Live in Lagos, Kona, Jacob’s Cross (seasons 4 -7), Changes, The Money Drop Nigeria, The Johnsons I and II, Mashariki Mix, and the hit telenovela series Hotel Majestic.
Erika's recent work includes Trackers for HBO, ZDF & M-Net, Pre-Prod on Americanah for HBO Max and Far from Home for Netflix.
