About "Kulukhun' Ukubayindoda"

It a well known mostly firmly entrenched idea that man a real man doesn't cry. This is especially emphasised in the African culture. I think this is one of main cause in the rise to males who commit suicide. It is okay for anyone to cry when in pain. That applied to all irrespective of gender.

About Nombeko

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nombeko was born and bred in the former Transkei, Eastern Cape in a small village called Tsomo. She grew up on a farm in the Kei River valley. As a child she never had a chance of owning a book or a pencil. In school she wrote on a slate or on a flat stone if the slate was broken. She used to scribble on stones, gaalboom and aloe plants. Nombeko's art passion started at a very young age when she and her cousins used to draw each other on stones and gaalboom. In her primary and high school she didn't do art as a subject. She did art as a subject when she enrolled for her diploma in Education at the college. Her love for art led her to be a Foundation Phase Art teacher.
