-Born [[Thokozile Ntshinga]].
+Born [[Thokozile Ntshinga]] in Langa into a musically inclined family. She was a single parent with a twoyear-old daughter, working as nursing aide when she saw an audition notice for the [[Space Theatre]]. She hadn't thought that a career in theatre was something one could aspire to, but she got the part and went on to work with the Space. (That ultimately led her to a glittering film career and stage career: a [[Fleur du Cap]] award for ''[[Mies Julie]]'' and a masters degree in the US).
