Journey
Ndoh Dlamini, born Nomfundo Dlamini-Sambo, is a distinguished South African singer-songwriter, actress, and vocal coach. Her expansive career began in the mid-90s when she joined Mbongeni Ngema’s theater company. This rigorous training led to international tours in productions such as MAMA! and MARIA! MARIA!, establishing her as a formidable performer in dance, acting, and song.
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Dlamini became a sought-after backing vocalist, touring globally with icons like Madala Kunene and Jabu Khanyile & Bayete. Her tenure with Ringo Madlingozi, starting in 2003, saw her take on multiple roles as a dancer, choreographer, and featured soloist. These experiences eventually brought her to major global stages, including a solo performance at a festival in New Orleans.
Her transition to a solo artist was cemented in 2012 with the release of her album “Sekusile,” Featuring tracks like "Uthando" and "Abangoma," the album was recognized with a Metro FM Music Award nomination for Best Contemporary Jazz. That same year, she performed at the ANC’s 100-year celebration alongside giants like Hugh Masekela and Dorothy Masuka, delivering a memorable rendition of "Black President."
Dlamini's versatility extends to musical theater, having collaborated with James Ngcobo on productions like Songs of Migration and Letters from Madiba. In 2013, she reached a global audience by collaborating with Michael Bolton on "Ain’t Nothing but a Good Thing."
Today, Ndoh Dlamini occupies a unique space in South African culture. Ordained as a pastor in 2014, she co-leads The Livingstone Ministries with her husband. She continues to contribute to the arts as a vocal coach and mentor, using her two decades of industry expertise to guide the next generation while maintaining her roots in Zulu culture and spiritual expression.
