Mbongeni Ngema is a South African writer, lyricist, composer and director. He started his career as a theatre backing guitarist.
He married Leleti Khumalo, who has starred in Sarafina, Yesterday and Hotel Rwanda. She was nominated for a Tony Award Best Actress in a Musical for Sarafina in 1988, while Yesterday and Hotel Rwanda were both nominated for Oscars.
Mbongeni is seen as a racist by some people becaue of the controversy his song, Amandiya, generated. It is about racism that Blacks in KwaZulu-Natal have suffered at the hands of Indians. Amandiya was banned after its release in 2002, and he refused to apologize even at Nelson Madiba Mandela's influence.

The piece talks about apartheid amongst many things and set on Albert Street in Johannesburg.
The show is a parable about what might happen if Jesus Christ were to descend on South Africa-by jumbo jet from Jerusalem. 'Woza' means rise up.
The show features Percy Mtwa, Mbongeni Ngema and Barney Simon. It is directed by Simon who also does the set design.
