Victor Mhleli Ntoni was a highly respected South African jazz musician, celebrated for his exceptional skill as a bassist, composer, and arranger. Born on June 21, 1947, in Langa, Cape Town, Ntoni's musical roots were nurtured at home by his mother, a local singer, and his uncle, an aspiring pianist.
Victor Ntoni established himself early on, playing with McCoy Mrubata in The Uptown Sextet as a teenager. His professional career quickly gained momentum on the international stage. In 1975, he served as the musical director for the musical Meropa, leading the production on a European tour.

From composing pieces that celebrated freedom and resilience to directing stage productions like Meropa, his work carried deep cultural meaning. He later co-founded the group Afro Cool Concept.
