BIOGRAPHY
Pinkie Mtshali who hails from Umlazi is a well known
all-rounder singer who started her career as an Opera Singer and
later found home in cabaret and Afro-Jazz/pop music. She has
performed and understudied major and minor roles for different shows
working from Opera, Musicals, Pop shows and Cabarets with local and
international Conductors, Directors and Singers throughout
the country and abroad.
She is the brain behind Durban Divas show designing and sewing costumes,

After matriculation she enrolled at the Natal Technikon's academy of
music studying voice technique with Sandra de Villiers

In 1991 she joined the NAPAC OPERA SINGERS performing and understudying
roles in no less than eight major stage productions.
In October 1992 she joined the CAPAB OPERA CHORUS in Cape Town for
five years working with national and international Directors and
Conductors whether in Opera, Concerts or Musicals, whilst there she

From May 1996 Pinkie left Capab and started freelancing as an
actress, singer, cabaret director and master of ceremonies. Pinkie
has sung in most of this country's music centers as well as a
guest on SABC'S TV Shows and was nominated for a 1998 FNB Vita ward
