Margaret Nomvula Mcingana was born in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, and was the daughter of Agnes M'cingana. In the 1950s, she moved from Queenstown to Johannesburg in the then Transvaal, where she found work as a domestic servant.

While she was working as a domestic worker, Margaret Singana was discovered singing while cleaning. Her employers were so impressed that they recorded her voice and sent the tape to a record company. The producers of the musical Sponono, written by Alan Paton, gave her a part as a chorus singer in 1964. "Singana" was an adaptation of her surname "M'cingana", meant to be easier for white people to pronounce.

In the 1970s Mcingana started performing with The Symbols. In 1972 she made "Good Feelings" with the band, the single reached No. 2 on the old LM Hit Parade. In 1973, Mcingana was cast as the lead singer in the musical, Ipi Tombi, and soon made herself famous with the song "Mama Tembu's Wedding". In 1977, Mcingana's song "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You" became a hit. She had a stroke in 1980 and suffered from bad health for many years but, in 1986, she made a comeback with the song "We Are Growing", which was the theme song from the television series, Shaka Zulu.
