Early Life

Born in Kliptown, Johannesburg in August 1950, Nyembe has also resided in various locations such as Botswana and East London, South Africa during her youth. 

She has recounted being consistently typecast as a maid during auditions due to the apartheid regime. In an interview with Bona Magazine, Nyembe expressed her frustration at the inequality and oppression she faced:

“The shows would paint white women’s faces black if they needed a black lead. This injustice fueled my anger, leading me to engage in protest theatre. The police would often disrupt our performances with tear gas in an attempt to intimidate us. Since most shows were held at night, I would encounter police on my way home, who would demand my pass. I frequently found myself evading authorities as the government disapproved of our activities.”
