🎭 HISTORY ON STAGE. 🇿🇦
The original Broadway cast of SARAFINA! performing at the United Nations in 1988.
A powerful moment in theatre history — and part of the extraordinary legacy of the late Mbongeni Ngema.
The story. The music. The movement. The legacy. ❤️

🎭 THROWBACK TO HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Before the world knew SARAFINA!, before Broadway, before the awards and international acclaim, it was a dream taking shape in South Africa.
In this special throwback from Metro FM’s The Touchdown, @nhlanhlangema_ shares the remarkable story of how SARAFINA! began and how neither the original cast nor its creator, Dr Mbongeni Ngema, could have imagined the impact it would have on the world.
Thirty-nine years later, SARAFINA! remains the only African musical to have reached Broadway and achieved the status of a Broadway hit—an extraordinary milestone that continues to inspire generations.
As we continue telling our story and preserving our legacy, we look back at the humble beginnings of a production that became a cultural phenomenon and a proud chapter in African theatre history.

Today was more than just a rehearsal.
The Original Cast of SARAFINA! reunited at the Market Theatre, returning to the very stage where a cultural phenomenon was born and where history was made.
As the Market Theatre celebrates 50 years of fearless storytelling, these remarkable artists have come together once again to honour the legacy of Mbongeni Ngema — a visionary whose work gave a voice to a generation, transformed South African theatre, and left an indelible mark on stages across the world.
This coming weekend, the Original Cast of SARAFINA! will present a special commemorative segment as part of the Market Theatre’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations. Audiences will witness the artists who helped create theatre history reunite in tribute to the theatre that nurtured their journey and to the man whose vision brought SARAFINA! to life.
More than a reunion, it is a celebration of a legacy that continues to inspire generations of performers, storytellers, and theatre lovers.
The Original Cast returns.
The legacy of Mbongeni Ngema lives on.
And SARAFINA! comes home to the Market Theatre.
