The Ngema family has announced that a memorial service for veteran playwright Mbongeni Ngema will be held next Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at the Durban Playhouse.
In a statement, they say his funeral is to be held next Friday at a venue still to be confirmed.
Ngema died this week after a car crash involving a truck on the R61 at Bizana in the Eastern Cape.
The family and Ngema’s company, Committed Artists, have also expressed gratitude to the public for the outpouring of support they’ve received.
Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa, who visited the family home in Durban yesterday, said Ngema should be given a befitting funeral.
