Mankunku Ngozi

Mankunku Has The John Coltrane Touch - Mankunku Ngozi, the Cape Town sax player, in a pensive mood at Mofolo Hall where he was playing with Early Mabuza, Lionel Pillay and Agrippa Magwaza. Mankunku first hit the Reef when he perfomed with his combo at the Orlando Stadium 1963 Jazz festival. He was then playing turmpet. The versatile 25 year old Mankunku also played the piano before settling for the sex. With Mabuza, Pillay and Magwaza, Mankunku has cut a disc, Yakhal'nkomo. Mankunku is following in the footsteps of the great American Pianist Errol Garner, who, like him cannot read or write. (Photograph by Alf Kumalo - BAHA)
