Lebo Mashile talks about Leleti Khumalo and Mbongeni Ngema’s Drama

Last week, Sunday World published an extract from playwright Mbongeni Ngema’s ex-wife, Xoliswa Nduneni-Ngema’s memoir titled Heart of A Strong Woman, written by seasoned author Fred Khumalo

The extract published by the paper details how the current CEO of Joburg City Theatres klapped Sarafina actress Leleti Khumalo after discovering she was having an affair with her then-husband. The extract also details the abuse Xoliswa suffered abuse at the hands of Mbongeni.

Poet Lebo has now spoken out on how Mbongeni’s “abuse is legendary” yet he keeps getting work and lifetime achievement awards.

This man keeps getting work. He keeps getting lifetime achievement awards. His abuse is legendary. There are many more stories. I hope this is the beginning of the tide turning. https://t.co/31zPp5UCWn

“There are many more stories. I hope this is the beginning of the tide turning,” tweeted Lebo.

The whole industry sat back and watched while a predator built a production around a child he was abusing & later married her. The stories about Mbongeni sleeping with young girls in his company never stopped with Leleti. Leleti has been on the receiving end of mind blowing abuse https://t.co/Y8zQ5CRBhV
