Who are Trevor Noah`s parents?

Robert Noah (father)

Date of birth: around 1935-1938

Trevor`s father, Robert Noah is of Swiss-German descent. It is known that he moved to South Africa around the 1980s, where he opened the first integrated restaurant. Noah had even received a special license to serve black people. Unfortunately, most of the customers were not as tolerant as the restaurant`s owner and kept petitioning the government to close it down. During his stay in South Africa, Robert met Patricia Nombuyiselo, Trevor’s mother, and fell in love with her. Interracial relationships were forbidden back then, so the two started dating secretly. However, when Trevor was born in 1984, their little secret was revealed. Patricia was arrested and sent to prison while Robert left South Africa. In 2022, Trevor visited his father in Switzerland while traveling on his world tour, so it seems that the two managed to keep in touch until now.

Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah (mother)

Date of birth: around 1960

Patricia comes from a famous Xhosa tribe in South Africa. Throughout her whole life, she was a very rebellious and purposeful woman. She learned English at a missionary school and worked as a typist. At the same time, Patricia met Robert Noah, who became her son`s father. According to the law, she had to receive punishment, as having a child from a white man was considered a crime. She spent a few years in prison. In 1992, Noah married Ngisaveni Abel Shingange, giving birth to Andrew and Isaac, Trevor`s half-brothers. The man physically abused Patricia and her children, so she left him. However, Abel couldn’t let her go. In 2009, when Noah was already married to her second husband, Sfiso Khoza, Shingange shot her in the leg and head. Hopefully, Patricia survived. According to different sources, she lives in South Africa and has her own business there.
