about

Mbongeni Ngema is a South African writer, lyricist, composer, director and theatre producer, born in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal. He started his career as a theatre backing guitarist.

Virtually all Ngema’s work has been hugely successful, and his plays have raked in awards all over the world, including several Tony Awards. His musical work has been equally successful, earning him inter alia a Grammy Award for his song “Circle of Life” from the musical score for Disney’s The Lion King. Many plays and all his music are on CD, video, and film, including a film version of Sarafina. Though much controversy has surrounded him over the years (perhaps most notably the Sarafina II scandal, but also his marriage to Leleti Khumalo in 1991 and his sequestration in 1999), Ngema is nationally and internationally lauded for his contribution to theatre. Besides many individual awards for specific plays, he was inducted as a member of the “Walk of Fame”, the Playwright’s Sidewalk in front of the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York in 1998.
