I was born in the remote southern area of Gokwe. I then moved to the capital city of Harare for my secondary level education which I could not further to the desired level due to the death of both my parents. As the eldest son I had to make sure that my younger family members also received a basic education and thus I started doing Art and Crafting as a source of income.
I got married in 1997 and I am blessed with two children aged 11 and 6. These children are my major source of inspiration in whatever I do because I do not want them to suffer in their future lives so I believe better education for them is a good investment.
Furthermore because of the bad economic status in Zimbabwe I was forced to cross the border into South Africa for better marketability. Currently I am based in Durban.
Yours faithfully
