President Cyril Ramaphosa has mourned the death of Mbongeni Ngema. Mbongeni Ngema died in a car accident on his way back from a funeral in the Eastern-Cape.
Mbongeni Ngema was one of the biggest producer, writer and performer to emerge from South Africa. He came into prominence after playing Sabela on Sarafina alongside Leleti Khumalo.
“I offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends and associates of our cultural stalwart, Mbongeni Ngema, who has lost his life in a vehicle accident. His masterfully creative narration of our liberation struggle honoured the humanity of oppressed South Africans and exposed the inhumanity of an oppressive regime. The many productions he created or to which he contributed inspired resilience and pride among us as fellow South Africans and took South Africa and our continent into the theatres, homes and consciousness of millions of people around the world. May his soul rest in peace.” – President Cyril Ramaphosa tweeted.
May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace!
