Yithi Abantu!!
I've been drawing since primary school in rural Bhamshela. With over 30 years of experience, I'm still passionate about illustration. I recall my first mural in Grade 4 at Noodsburg Primary School for Glen Tea – it earned me recognition back home (Emakhaya). Most of my work is inspired by my surroundings and lifestyle.
Yithi Abantu' means 'We are the people' in Zulu. The phrase embodies the idea that we hold power and agency over our lives.
