ABOUT ME

I am an international multi award winning performer and writer who has been working in theatre as an actor, published playwright as well as in the music industry as a composer, lyricist and singer. With a BA (Hons) in Theatre and Performance from the University Of Cape Town, I have performed in a multitude of successful theatre productions such as 'The Fall' which I co-wrote. I also wrote, directed, produced and performed in critically acclaimed live show, “Tankiso Live” where music, projected imagery and story telling were used to address societal issues. I have also worked as an opening act for well loved South African Musician, Mandisi Dyantyis. My independently produced album 'Freedom Hurts Sometimes', released in 2020 received positive reviews.

"SHE has been blessed with a voice to please the gods and a mind second to none."

- Shanice Naidoo, The Weekend Argus

"Mamabolo places herself firmly within the struggle, saying “music is [her] form of protest”. Her work addresses everything from her family history to the ambivalence of women’s month to remembering the slain of Marikana."
