Asinamali Tickets

Asinamali is a seminal South African theatre work created by Mbongeni Ngema in the early 1980s. Addressing police violence and apartheid-era rent strikes, the piece helped shape international perceptions of South African theatre and inspired later works like Sarafina!. The production gained global attention with a high-profile Broadway run in 1987, earning Tony Award nominations and establishing Ngema’s influence in musical and political theatre. A 2018 film adaptation by Ngema is available on streaming platforms such as Netflix, expanding the work’s reach beyond the stage. While public tour announcements for 2025 are not confirmed as of early 2026, fans can monitor major venues and festival listings for revivals.

Asinamali’s legacy continues through the broader Ngema catalogue and related performances presented by venues like the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, which has staged revivals and related material in 2013 and 2024. Mbongeni Ngema’s passing on December 27, 2023, is acknowledged by official posts and tributes managed by his estate and affiliated organizations.
