Pieter Jacobs is a South African playwright, actor, and arts executive born on 1 January 1980. He trained in performing arts at Tshwane University of Technology and earned a MA in creative writing from the School of Literature, Language, and Media at the University of the Witwatersrand, graduating cum laude. His acting work spans television and film: he appeared in the Afrikaans drama series Song vir Katryn in 2003 and the Hollywood film Stander. As a playwright, Jacobs has built a distinctive voice exploring contemporary issues—Plofstof won the KKNK Nagtegaal Debut prize in 2003, and his 2008 play Dalliances received an Oscar Wilde Award nomination. His more recent work, Prey, interrogates the collision of virtual and physical reality, examining online revenge pornography, racism, and blackmail; it was selected from 50 submissions for the inaugural KKNK Teksmark new play development showcase in 2016. Beyond creation, Jacobs served as CEO of The Arts & Culture Trust until 2010 and chaired Arterial Network South Africa. In 2015, Mail & Guardian recognized him as one of South Africa's top 200 noteworthy young people. As a Capricorn, he embodies the sign's natural alignment with institutional responsibility and long-term vision. With a Life Path 2, he operates as a mediator and collaborator—roles evident in his leadership positions bridging artistic creation and cultural administration.
