She has been involved across all television genres but has focused largely on Educational television, in the past, for Bop TV’s EDUTEL and, today for SABC Educational Television since she has a teacher’s training degree, in English and French, a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of the Witwatersrand and Post Graduate degree from the University of Paul Valery, in France.
After having spent one year at University in France and two years working as an English, French, Italian translator for a film company in Rome, Ailsa came home for a holiday during which time she found a job at the SABC in 1974 at the inception of television in South Africa. The television bug bit her and became her passion in life. She never returned to Rome.
Starting out as a production secretary, she became a television director before leaving the SABC. She joined Edutel, became a founder member of Endemol and formed her own company LCAT productions in 2004.
