Mbongeni Ngema (b. 1955 - ) a South African writer, lyricist, composer and director was born in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal (near Durban). He started his career as a theatre backing guitarist. He married Leleti Khumalo a nominee for 1988 Tony Award Best Actress in a Musical for Sarafina, and leading role in South Africa's first film nominated for an Oscar, Yesterday written and directed by Darryl Roodt, produced by Anant Singh.
In some sectors of South African society, Ngema is considered a racist because of his controversial song, AmaNdiya (about racism that Blacks in KwaZulu-Natal have suffered at the hands of Indians). It was banned in the country soon after it was released in 2002, and even Nelson Mandela had asked Ngema to apologize but Ngema refused.
