Bongani Kubheka​

Bongani Kubheka at the Silver Mountain Music Festival
Bongani Justice Kubheka was born and raised in Newcastle, South Africa. Bongani enrolled at the University of Cape Town, where he developed as a young artist through a number of university productions and collaborations with the Cape Town Opera. Roles include Don Basilio (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Lord Sydney (Il Viaggio a Reims), The Puppet Master (Postcard from Morocco) and Dottore Grenvil (La Traviata). He has won prizes at the Schock Foundation Prize for Singing, the Amazwi Omzansi Competition and the Stuart Burrows International Competition and was one of the 2015 Operalia finalists.
 Bongani moved to Cardiff to continue his vocal studies under the tutorship of Dennis O’ Neill at the Welsh International Academy of Voice, where he obtained a Master’s in Advanced Vocal Studies in 2016. He graduated shortly after from the University of Cape Town with a Postgraduate Diploma in Opera Performance in 2017.
 In September 2018, Bongani participated in the ATKV-Muziqanto competition (Classical voice competition), and was awarded first prize.
 Bongani was recently awarded the 2019 Fleur du Cap award for BEST PERFORMANCE IN AN OPERA – MALE - in Don Pasquale as Don Pasquale. He has also recently performed at the annual RMB Starlight Classics concert at Vergelegen, under the Baton of Maestro Richard Cock. He has a beautiful voice and a warm, inviting stage presence, a real joy to watch and hear perform.
