The
theatre industry stepped out in style for the 11th annual Naledi Theatre Awards
to applaud and cheer their peers who won against the strongest competition to
date in 25 categories.
The
awards event, which was for productions staged during 2013, took place in
Johannesburg.
A number
of nominations came from KZN, with one winner emerging. Nondumiso
Tembe received the Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Play/Musical for her
performance in Race which was produced by The South African State Theatre in association with The
Playhouse Company.
A Life Time
Achievement Award was presented this year by the chairman, Dali Tambo, to
Mbongeni Ngema for his vast body of international work such as Sarafina (a major movie) and, more
recently, The Zulu – which he wrote
and performed in an impressive tour de force about the history of the Zulu
nation.
