One of the greatest playwrights & talents this country has produced!!! I remember studying his work in Dramatic Arts at school and realising his genius was before Sarafina!!! His performance in Woza Albert is physical theatre in its absolute perfection, which he wrote too!!!

However, all his global accolades, are made sweeter by my father’s memory of the young legend. They grew up Kwa Mashu, in Durban, the township I was born in. My dad would tell the story and just laugh. Mbongeni, as a kid would go to town and watch a movie at the cinema. He would then come back home, gather everyone around and start reenacting the whole movie!!! My dad says he was incredible even at a young age!!! It is no surprise he is the man I painfully pay tribute to today.

Rest easy King!!! Rest in Power that your words & stories shaped this country and its healing!!! What an ABSOLUTE ICON. You fuelled my love for drama in all its beautiful facets and I and many others are so grateful 🙏🏾

VAYA founder Themba Makamo wrote:

“In 2010, I quit my job as a journalist from one of South Africa’s biggest publications with the aim of inspiring the world through my ideas. At the time, I believed nothing could go wrong as I had great ideas, savings, a vehicle, a place to stay, and a supportive partner. Fast-forward to two years later, I was left with just ‘great ideas’ which would eventually begin to fail one at a time. During this interim, bankruptcy, seemed to be the only highlight of my career.

Though it seemed like I had lost it all, I had one thing I knew I could not afford to lose… HOPE. I knew that in order to inspire the world through design and creativity, I needed to stay focused and keep going for my dream. After a decade of going for it, I finally founded VAYA FOOTWEAR in February, 2021. And after years of failure, heartaches, and rejections, with VAYA we aim to inspire and help people to go for their dreams, for we know ambition can overcome any temporary obstacle or setbacks.”

You can’t compete with someone unless they’re sitting on a position you want to occupy. No one is sitting on any position we want to occupy. Our Competitors are NIKE, ADIDAS, PUMA and the Likes." - Lekau Sehoana
