Mthuli ka Shezi (1947–1972) was a South African playwright and political activist. He was a student activist when he attended the University of Zululand, and in 1972 he was elected the first vice president of the Black People's Convention. His writing reflected the struggle of recovering African identity in colonial and post-colonial societies, a topic which reflects his involvement in Steve Biko's Black Consciousness Movement as well as the influence of Frantz Fanon.
