Khulekani Ngobese from Rythm City is no more with us. He gave us a memorable performance in a show that presented the conflict with the music industry's true power players. 

He is an additional example of a villager who overcomes all odds to succeed and rises to the top.

Shabangu's first significant role came in Gordon Motha's Secret Agenda in 1992, but his acting career really took off when he began official training at The Market Theatre Laboratory three years later. He earned his degree at the end of 1996.
