Zama Mngoma aka Imbongi Yakocenge is a 19 year old poetess who wants to publish poetry books and DVDs, make enough money to support herself and her family through her poetry writing talent. When Zama started she had no support. She grew her reading skills through poetry, because she could not read well in language class, but playing around with words in poetry drew her interest than later helped her become a better reader and a poetry writer as an added bonus. Zama wants to encourage the youth not to forget their roots, to always remember their origin, how they were raised and preserve our Nguni languages.
Zama says she was a bit nervous before the audition, but she told herself that no matter what the outcome would be, she would gain some experience through the process, she encouraged herself to be positive. Zama says it is an awesome experience to be part of the South Coast Mic Check 1,2. She has learned how to handle stage fright, how to behave professionally on stage and gained more insight on stage rules among other things.
